Ideas

• • Take your artistic practice online. Check out a few examples like: Lunchtime doodle dates

  • Organize a digital poetry reading or digital house concert with area poets and / or musicians. Make sure to set up a digital tip jar or other way to donate / support your local artists! 

  • Think about simple, creative ways you can support parents during school closure, like these examples: reading kids books on twitter or offering simple kids’ art projects online. 

  • Use your awesome design skills to start a hyper-local online resource, like this example from Palouse, WA: Palouse Hotline
