Covid-19 Responses and Activities for the Art/Law Network Community and Beyond!

Here we are going to put together spaces where network members can meet in one way or another, either creatively or just to get support during these strange times.

Please remember to stay safe and follow the WHO guidelines and those in your country of residence.

SketchPad Inspired by Mocksim

Network member Mocksim has been developing a Lockdown Sketchpad that anyone can add their doodles too.  Please add yours as well!

We would also like to start a similar one, art/law related if possible!  Off you go guys!

Art/Law Poetry Lock Down

Here we will be having some Art/Law poetry sessions online!

A Room with a View

We are now dedicating our forum to posts from any of you in the network who want to share their work, their art, their ‘Rooms with a View’, their ways of  getting through, whatever you wish whilst we are all social-distancing and in self-isolation!

Send in the view from your room, whilst isolating, and we will put them all together in a gallery!

UK Covid-19 Freelance Artist Resources List

I’m helping to collate this – it’s grown from the excellent US version. Do please share it with your networks! (Also – what hashtags are people using to coordinate creative activity at the moment? Let me know!)

This document is a collection of links to resources to help freelance creatives and artists during the current COVID-19 pandemic. It is the UK version of the original American / International list, we just moved to our own site to make life easier for the team in the US.

This document will be updated frequently. It was most recently updated on Sunday 22nd March, 2020. You can share this list using the URL

I heard it was an emergency, so I emerged.

As an actor, I can’t do much without face to face contact. But I can read verse. If me reading a particular poem would make you happy, let me know and I’ll post it on

Heritage on the Edge

Google Arts & Culture has launched a new online initiative calling attention to five Unesco World Heritage sites under threat from climate change. The Heritage on the Edge series reveals how rising sea levels, coastal erosion and extreme weather patterns are endangering landmarks across the world

The project, hosted on the Google Arts & Culture website and smartphone app, was created in partnership with the International Council for Museums and Sites (Icomos)—the 10,000-member professional body that advises Unesco’s World Heritage Committee—and CyArk, a California non-profit specialised in digitally mapping heritage sites through non-invasive technologies.

A whirlwind video of the State Hermitage Museum

Unrelated to the coronavirus outbreak but fortuitously timed nonetheless, this video is a five-hour-long cinematic journey through one of the world’s biggest and most visited museums.

Museé du Louvre’s Ancient Egyptian treasures

The most popular museum in the world has an excellent online offering of ways to enjoy the space without physically attending. You can delve into three of the museum’s spaces through virtual tours: you can “walk” its Ancient Egypt wing and its moat (hidden in the basement), but the online tour of the Galerie d’Apollon is a bit lo-fi (it was made in 2004, would you believe). You can click on the objects on display for a close-up look and basic information about the work.

Rembrandt and Portraiture in Amsterdam, 1590-1670, which was scheduled to end on 24 May. Now that the museum has been forced to close because of coronavirus, it has launched an online tour of the show

The Castello di Rivoli in Turin had to close just after launching three new exhibitions, and it has now released digital tours and related videos for the shows.

The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has announced new digital initiatives on its website and social media platforms. “Even though it’s not possible to visit Berlinde De Bruyckere’s exhibition in person, our series of daily stories posted on Instagram, Facebook and our website, will make you feel like you here,” the gallery’s website says.

The city of Galway in Ireland had planned a huge cultural programme for its year as the European Capital of Culture, but now almost all of the events have been cancelled. They have, howeverreleased a video of Savage Beauty by the Finnish artist Kari Kolaone of the most spectacular outdoor light works ever created that would have drenched a five kilometre stretch of Connemara mountain in shimmering emerald green and sapphire blue light.
