Celebrating Creativity - Creative Responses to Challenging Times
Nov. 7 - Dec. 19, 2020
The role of art becomes more essential to our lives in times of crisis and isolation. Whether you are creating or simply enjoying, art has the power to cultivate hope. Even in these dire circumstances, art can bring momentary joys, help us identify emotions and promote healing.
We asked artists to show us what they have been creating during the pandemic and to share with us their thoughts and feelings about creating during these challenging times. Some works in the exhibit express the fear and anxiety while others find beauty in nature, or celebrate simple pleasures of everyday life. The common thread…joy in the simple act of creating.
Artist’s creative response to the coronavirus crisis brings us works that represent the experience of artists at this time. More importantly, the creation and experience of art can help people process their feelings. We encourage you to visit the gallery….it is a safe space with social distancing and the use of masks required and limited numbers of visitors. Enjoy the exhibit and experience Art’s capacity to bring joy and hope in challenging times.
