In March 2020, the United States declared a national emergency due to the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Immediately following this announcement, several organizations and venues made the difficult decision to cancel or postpone art and culture programming. The unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic has caused devastating financial constraints to the arts community resulting with the inability for artists to pay for rent, purchase food and obtain necessities.

In response to COVID-19 and its effects on the arts and culture community, the Library and the ACC are re-launching the Art Happens Anywhere (“AHA”) Program, with the purpose of encouraging the expansion of arts and culture activities to benefit the citizens of community during these unique times. This CFA encourages artists to consider non-traditional artwork, experiences and performances that can engage the public in unexpected ways and places given the social distancing requirements.
