This memo was released in the beginning of the stay at home orders in Massachusetts (April 2020). As a response to the state-wide quarantine, MASSCreative released this statement explaining ways they will continue to support the cultural communities. This message is important as it is from the start of the Covid-19 responses in the state.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
