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)
