LOS ANGELES, CA.- In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous cultural institutions across Southern California are offering K-12 educational resources for families and teachers to utilize while they shelter at home. SoCal Museums has compiled dozens of new and compelling online educational opportunities for children of all ages, presented by more than thirty Southern California museums and cultural institutions.

These resources reflect a range of subjects—from contemporary and historical art to science to fashion—and employ different learning modalities, from virtual instruction to activity books to storytelling. They are presented from institutions large and small across the region.

“For more than fifteen years, SoCal Museums has made arts and culture more accessible to our communities, including visitors from outside the region. In the face of this global crisis, our member museums are finding a way to bring exciting and transformative cultural experiences to our younger audiences,” says Jennifer Caballero, SoCal Museums President and Marketing Director at the Skirball Cultural Center. “We are pleased to offer a wide range of activities to not only local children and educators, but people in other parts of the country and the world.”

One of the only organizations of its kind, SoCal Museums is comprised of arts and culture communications professionals, and aims to increase visitation to and awareness of museums in Southern California. Among several collaborative initiatives, the group is most known for presenting the Museums Free-for-All, an annual free admission day across the region.
