Thankfully, we have never lived through a time like this and we encourage each and every member of our community to help flatten the curve and adapt to the daily barrage of information that is coming our way. If you are craving creativity as we all continue to practice social distancing, we've compiled a great list of virtual arts opportunities to get you started! Are you a local Treasure Coast artist or arts organization hosting virtual concerts, lessons, talks, etc.? Let us know - we'd love to share!
