By now, 我们中的许多人能够呆在家里,因为我们都在尽自己的一份力量,尽量减少COVID-19病毒的传播, while others continue essential work to keep our communities going. All 48 ACTA staff members across the state are currently working from home, and we are prioritizing the development of alternative programming. 我们感谢整个加州广泛而深厚的传统艺术社区的关系, and our ability to continue our work in service of you.

Each day brings challenges, difficult news, and questions about the future. The economic impact of cancelled events, performances, training opportunities, teaching engagements, 跨艺术领域的编程已经对我们社区中的许多艺术家和组织造成了影响. 我们失去了聚在一起和彼此分享空间的能力,这是一个前所未有的打击.

但我们也被提醒,我们的传统习俗是如何深深扎根于家庭的, in the intimate connections between family members. 我们被提醒,这些做法和表达方式在几代人的变化和动荡中幸存下来. We are reminded that at their core, the traditional arts are adaptive, generative, and resilient. 它们使我们植根于共同的历史,但它们也帮助我们在不确定的时代成长.

我们作为公共民俗学家和文化工作者的实践建立在社区和艺术家领导者的力量之上. This time is no different. 我们将继续利用这些优势,通过倡导来支持加州的文化传统和传统传承者, institutional support, and new uses of technology. ACTA一直在全州和全国范围内参与倡导战略的呼吁, 努力确保民间和传统艺术成为整个艺术复兴议程的一部分. 我们一直在敦促其他资助者对需求每天都在变化的艺术家和组织实行彻底的灵活性和基于信任的慈善. Empathy, sensitivity, and resilience remain at the core of our work.
