With New Year’s Day approaching, it comes time to once again reflect on the past year and look toward the future. This past year, we have faced the harsh realities of living during a worldwide pandemic and the great loss that has come with it. From the challenges of shutdowns and quarantine to the widespread fear and division faced in 2020–what have we learned?
Artists featured in the Perspectives of a Pandemic show share their thoughts on the motivation
behind their works, the process of creating their pieces, and what it is like to be an artist at this
time.
During this 2-day virtual conference on Equity, attendees will benefit from and contribute to learning opportunities, thoughtful conversations and interactive activities related to areas of Equity from policy and politics, education and advocacy, art and commerce, health and habitat and more.
