COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and Kansas City Arts

ArtsKC has compiled resources for our local artists, arts leaders, and arts organizations to help endure the coronavirus outbreak.

We’ve all heard the recent news about how the coronavirus is affecting our country and our economy. Information about how it affects the arts sector is critical to the preparations of our performances and exhibitions. We have included several resources for you as members of our arts community to help you navigate the tricky moment in which we find ourselves.

ArtsKC has begun to put plans in place in the event that our staff needs to work from home either for personal wellness or the wellness of all staff. We are continuing to review materials and resources to add to our understanding of this virus and how our sector can best be prepared. We will pass along new and relevant information as we receive it. Please reach out to us with any tools or resources you think may be helpful to our community.
