03-23-Arturo-Final 2-web.jpg
Arturo took a break from working on new artworks to sit for a picture. We really wished we could have seen his work-in-progress—a series of 7 pieces about light and creativity—but we knew better than to enter someone else’s space.

03-26-Ciara-Final-web.jpg
On the first day of social distancing, Ciara made an embroidery that said “Stay ready.” She meant that both as “get enough to live on” and as “be ready for the good things that can happen.” For her, making art is a way to heal and learn.
