First Friday June 4, 2021 'The Healing Arts' free Art Talk
In our June 4th First Friday Art Talk, we chatted with Julia Wake and Annie Beach about art during the pandemic. They both worked on the online project Creating as Care, believing that art can be a crucial form of self-care during times of stress, helping to support emotional health, create connections and foster resilient communities. Julia talked about some of the innovative programming the Graffiti Gallery and Studio 393 have been doing during COVID to support young emerging artists, and Annie discussed some community and public art projects she’s collaborated on, from murals to art scavenger hunts, and why they mattered so much in this difficult year. They looked at the pluses and minuses of Zoom projects vs. IRL art events, and the lessons the cultural sector might take from the pandemic going forward, in terms of using technology to broaden accessibility.
