Regarding Public Humanities Programs and COVID-19

Humanities Texas believes that public health and safety are top priorities. At this time, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been detected in approximately one hundred countries around the globe. Several cases have been confirmed in our state.

We recognize that public programs associated with Humanities Texas grants or traveling exhibitions may need to be rescheduled due to public health concerns. Organizations should make the decision that best serves their community. We ask that all grantees and exhibition renters please provide Humanities Texas with regular updates regarding event postponements or cancellations so that we may update our records and calendars accordingly.

For changes to grant-funded programs, please submit a grant adjustment request and/or revised budget to our grants staff at grants@humanitiestexas.org. To revise, reschedule, or cancel an exhibition booking please contact the exhibitions coordinator at exhibitions@humanitiestexas.org. For additional questions, call 512.440.1991.
