Dear Partners, Friends and Donors,
In these uncertain times, we wanted to reach out and assure you, we are monitoring the news surrounding COVID-19 very closely.
The health and safety of our staff, students, teachers and artists is our top priority.
We will strongly consider the recommendations of the CDC, The Texas State Department of Health, local officials and school districts.
We will meet with our Board of Directors tomorrow, March 17 to discuss how to best move forward in our efforts to provide a whole and complete education to the students of Northeast Texas. We will also be discussing the following:
- Temporary work from home policy for YA staff
- Rescheduling of the Arts in Education Awards
- Rescheduling of the Northeast Texas Poetry in Schools Ceremony
- Resources to connect students with artists
It is our belief that the arts have the power to inspire, lift and encourage communities, especially during uncertain times such as these. Our mission is to make the arts a part of young people's lives in order to enhance their development as creative and productive humans. While schools are not open for us to advance our mission in the traditional way, we know children, families and educators could benefit from our support. We will continue to communicate with you as our response to the this situation develops. Please follow us on
