Dear friends and colleagues across Long Island:

We’re sharing the following post from the New York State Council on the Arts blog, which features many excellent links to resources for museums and other arts or cultural organizations during this difficult time. The original post can be found here: Resources for New York State Arts and Cultural Organizations re: Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) continues to monitor developments regarding the novel coronavirus that causes a disease called COVID-19. New Yorkers can access specific information about the virus on the Department of Health’s website: www.health.ny.gov/coronavirus or by phone at (888) 364 3065. You can also find specific information and updates about the virus on the website and social media platforms of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: www.cdc.gov/COVID19.
