Today on StudioTulsa, we hear from three arts officials on how their institutions and constituencies are being affected by "shelter in place" orders due to COVID-19 pandemic. Katie Dale heads up the Red Dirt Relief Fund and shares the impact venue closures have had on gigging musicians; and Marcello Angelini from Tulsa Ballet, and Scott Stulen from Philbrook Museum of Art describe how they are working to serve their audiences when there are no performances and exhibitions to attend.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
