East End Arts: Resource Links & Relief Services in a Digital Age

EEA has been hard at work pooling resources that are helpful in a digital time. Please visit our website’s homepage at www.eastendarts.org for resource links to Artist Grants & Resources, Health & Wellness, Open Calls & Opportunities, Online Tools & Virtual Platforms, and more!

Additionally, East End Arts is maintaining arts education and arts culture during a time where arts education and arts culture has minimal opportunity to be in peoples lives. We have continued programming for our community with limited resources and therefore; are still seeking individuals that want to help us keep the arts alive and support individual artists by helping us continue to bring arts culture and a creative outlet to our strong East End Community.

One-on-one virtual lessons

30 minute, 45 minute, and 1 hour sessions available

In instruments such as; violin, piano, cello, guitar, vocals, trumpet, sax, bass (electric and upright) and drums.
