Flagstaff Creative Sector Responds to Coronavirus Pandemic
Flagstaff art, science, faith, education, and culture organizations sign a pledge affirming their commitment to the health and safety of patrons, staff, visitors, and residents during the coronavirus pandemic. The pledge is a result of a taskforce spearheaded by leaders from Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra, City of Flagstaff, Kinney Construction Services, and Flagstaff Arts Council. The pledge, an introductory video, and a list of supporting organizations is available here.
The pledge speaks to Flagstaff’s scientific and cultural legacies and the desire to be known as a forward-thinking creative community that is taking the pandemic seriously. Each organization pledges to restart public in-person programming only when it is able to implement science-based reopening procedures, to collaborate and share best practices with other organizations, and to share a common uplifting message.
In addition to organizations that have signed the pledge, the video produced to introduce the pledge features NAU COVID-19 expert Dr. Paul Keim and Mayor Coral Evans.
The public is encouraged to support pledge signers’ efforts by donating and patronizing however they are comfortable doing so.
