The coronavirus pandemic has affected us all in one way or another. For artists and performers, coronavirus has seemingly closed the door on their creative outlets and, for many, their livelihood.
But as days in self-isolation have turned into weeks, many in Connecticut’s creative workforce have found ways to make it work. Their innate ingenuity has them exploring new avenues of creativity and engagement.
Hosted by Connecticut Public’s Arts & Culture Reporter Ray Hardman, Connecticut Conversations: Art and Resiliency in the Time of Coronavirus profiles artists from around the state who are making the best of social distancing, and channeling their energies in new and interesting ways.
