Artists Respond:Combating Social Isolation (RFP)|Springboard for the Arts
Do you have a creative idea to help people in your community connect with one another while staying safe and healthy? The COVID crisis has resulted in increased levels of social isolation in our communities, particularly for higher-risk groups like the elderly or people with disabilities. This isolation can have devastating effects on individual health and well-being.
Artists in Minnesota of all disciplines and career levels are invited to create moments of joy, solace, solidarity, sharing, and a sense of connection – for those who are feeling most isolated in these pandemic times. Whether a virtual guided walk, a postcard swap, charades with folks inside nursing homes, poetry broadcast from a porch, or texted meditations in the morning, we know artists can play an important role right now to lift spirits, combat isolation and create camaraderie through shared experiences.
