@AnnaForFlorida Ways to support the arts while you #StayAtHome

Stay connected with your favorite organizations by watching virtual performances and taking virtual classes. The performers love the virtual company and you will enjoy the reprieve! #coronavirus

[Downtown Arts District Orlando @OrlandoSlice]

@AnnaForFlorida if you are looking for ways to support the arts, consider donating to the @UnitedArts campaign OR don't request for a ticket refund for performances that were canceled.

@AnnaForFlorida After a national crisis, the arts industry tends to rebound the slowest. We saw this after 9/11 and in 2009-2010. It is important to advocate for the arts after other business return to normalcy. #coronavirus

[Downtown Arts District Orlando @OrlandoSlice]

Thank you so much @AnnaForFlorida for taking the time to educate the local arts community about the resources currently available to us. COVID-19 is detrimental to all industries, especially the arts. We will get through this together. #Coronavirus

[Downtown Arts District Orlando @OrlandoSlice]

@AnnaForFlorida What is type of future relief will come from the State of Florida to support the arts and cultural community? #Coronavirus

[Downtown Arts District Orlando @OrlandoSlice]

@AnnaForFlorida We should all be advocating that the Small Business Bridge Loans be extended to nonprofit organizations.

@AnnaForFlorida as we say in show business, "the show must go on." In this case, "the show must go online." #coronavirus

Our Downtown Arts District team is in Tallahassee advocating for arts funding. We are meeting with elected officials all day, reminding them about the tremendous impact the arts have on all communities! #floridaarts

Our Executive Director Heather Alexander has joined other local arts leaders in Tallahassee today to visit our legislators and advocate for full funding of the vetted arts and cultural requests. #Flculall
