I’m hosting the #ARTOFFPAUSE livestream to stay connected as we look ahead. Our arts institutions are “on pause” to stop the spread of COVID-19, but creativity is continuing. We'll check in daily with artists, curators, and scholars about their suspended or upcoming projects. We (maybe) can envision what the future might bring after this crisis.
