“This discussion comes at a crucial moment in our history as many still grapple with the overwhelming health and socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Kathy Engerran, interim director of Brevard Cultural Alliance. “As we continue to maintain physical distance, it is important for our community members to remember they are not alone. This virtual town hall will not only provide meaningful information, but also hopefully identify tools and resources to improve resiliency.”

“weVENTURE WBC is laser focused on helping the small-business community through this unprecedented time,” said Executive Director Kathryn Rudloff. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with BCA to provide support to local entrepreneurs in the arts and culture community.”
