Resources

As the city recovers from Hurricane Ida and the pandemic continues to impact the cultural economy, we want to provide you with the most up-to-date resources for the cultural community and the wider community as well. We send out a weekly newsletter that contains the latest cultural economy news and resources each week. Subscribe here. We hope you use these resources to preserve your businesses, gigs, and traditions, and want to let you know that we are here to support you any way we can.
