What can artists do to support people during this time?

USING MY PASSION & TALENT TO HELP

Times are crazy.  Absolutely unprecedented crazy.  I quarantined at home for 3 months, and basically still am.  I am slightly immuno-compromised with a rare disease that they simply don't know how COVID-19 will effect.  Just like most of you, I have barely seen family or friends, given them hugs, shared coffee, a meal, or gone for a walk.  The first month was kind of fun, the second was depressing, the third was "get over it and do what you can at home", and now in month 4, just when I thought I found my groove, I am thrown off course again by the extremely important Black Lives Matter movement and all of its far reaching implications.

I don't want this post to be about the man who is currently charged with, and failing miserably to guide us.  I believe that he was made President not be be President, but to force our young country to move through these immense growing pains.  We needed a catalyst.  Things are not going to go back to the way they were.  They simply can't.  Since I can't, but also don't choose to go to demonstrations, and I don't have a lot of time, expertise, or money to give to any particular cause, I needed to figure out what I COULD do.  What I CAN do.

ART.  I can still give people art, and art that is meaningful and helpful during this time.  I have always tried to make art that also serves a healing purpose.  Perfect!  Aside from just continuing to do what I do, I tried to focus on making items for this time.  I am just beginning, and welcome any ideas.
