 October 14 - Expression of Arts and Culture

 The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted daily life around the world, including for that of artists, musicians, and other creatives. But, as is often the case, great challenges also provide for great inspiration. How have artists and other creatives responded to and been influenced by the pandemic, or used their art as a means of positivity and to uplift spirits? Likewise, we have seen innovative solutions from art galleries as they move to online exhibitions, or from theatre companies.
