Executive Summary/Discussion

with a specific focus on upcoming virtual arts education experiences. Past activities include in-person
programs over the summer such as:

Community Parks
Newly-implemented virtual programs are:

Each of the upcoming programs has been transformed into a virtual experience for either teachers or

pre-recorded gallery tour, a pre-recorded arts instruction video for one lesson and free art kits
for students.
• The California History & Art Program will offer a live virtual tour of the ranch, pre-recorded tour
of the ranch, pre-recorded arts instruction and live virtual arts instruction for a ranch-inspired
art project.
• Family Open Studios will present a live virtual arts instruction video via Zoom on two specific
dates for families and friends of all ages. A pre-recorded arts instruction video will also be
available to view at any time. Free art kits will be provided to all registered participants and be
available for curbside pickup at the Carlsbad City Library.
