Tour exhibits, watch live performances or revisit greatest hits, all on a screen near you.

As arts patrons practice safe distancing and look for at-home entertainment, arts groups, museums and film fest folks are trying to adapt as well.
While museums, theaters and other venues are closed and events are canceled, some artists, musicians and organizers are finding ways to meet fans virtually. Some are promoting long-standing features such as ways to view permanent collections. Others are moving their now-canceled events online. And then there are a few creating original content for audiences, young and old.
Art Museums
Amon Carter Museum of American Art: For its new series, Cooped Up with the Carter, museum employees introduce an artwork from the museum, then lead viewers through a related activity such as a story time or a craft. In one episode, after viewing Gabriel Dawe: Plexus No. 34, the giant indoor rainbow that fills the museum’s atrium, you can learn to weave using cardboard and whatever string, yarn or ribbon is available to you. youtube.com/amoncartermuseum.
