ART IS ALIVE AGAIN--courtesy of Visit Champaign County
During the past 15 months, we spent countless hours in our homes, staring at our walls and our shelves, re-evaluating our choices. Meanwhile, our local artists struggled to connect with audiences and lost income with festivals and shows deemed unsafe. While there were virtual options during the pandemic, it’s not the same when you don’t have the opportunity to connect with local artists, hear their stories, and share in their inspiration.
