The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life all around the world, whether it is in San Francisco, where inhabitants are forced to stay indoors by a shelter in place order, or the whole country of Canada, which has just closed its border to the US and will not allow non-essential visitors into the country. Here in New York, Hyperallergic reporters have been talking to those impacted by the virus and how it is wreaking havoc for businesses, nonprofits, and arts institutions of all types. In this episode, I’m joined by two Hyperallergic reporters, Hakim Bishara and Valentina di Liscia, to discuss what we’re seeing, hearing, and experiencing regarding COVID-19’s impact on the art scene.
“Only Indigenous voices can tell their stories with dimensionality, and the tools to make that happen are incredibly accessible,” says film director Christian Rozier.
Ten artists will receive studio space and access to faculty, staff, students, workshops, and programming at an arts institution in the heart of Philadelphia.

Disconnected but not disheartened. To all the artists whose shows have been upended this month and for many months to come, take heart. The work does not go bad, perhaps will be shown again. And since we often spend many hours a day alone, our days have not changed as much as others.
