COVID-19 and Art Possible Ohio

How to begin? Things are scary right now and all of us are trying to gain some footing. Here is what we have been up to.

What We are Doing at Art Possible Ohio

Megan and I are working from home. We are visiting the office once a week or less to get mail.

We have made some programming changes for the spring for Accessible Expressions Ohio, Day of Arts for All, and ReelAbilities.

We have postponed the installation of Accessible Expressions Ohio at the Springfield Museum of Art. However, you can still view all the featured artists and artworks on our social media. Megan is posting them daily in a digital exhibition. Many of the artworks are for sale so if part of your coping includes cyber-shopping purchasing an artwork is a fantastic way to relieve some anxiety and support an artist financially.

Day of Arts for All and our Spring 2020 ReelAbilities Film Festival have been postponed until further notice.

Our teaching artists are still hard at work producing arts integrated lessons, videos, and other content for their students. If you have kiddos at home or just need something to do, follow us! We will post them regularly starting tomorrow here on our blog.
