Arts Alive 2020 - Amazing!
 All 31 participating artists did a fantastic job, and 150+participants partook in this year's Virtual Event! It was an amazing transition from a live on the plaza to on-line. Artists learned how to present themselves and their work in a virtual environment. Participants from as far away as Melbourne, Australia, engaged with artists, and many created works of their own using various art project kits. You can still participate with the artists of Arts Alive 2020 here >> (Pictured at right, JD Donahue.)
Please send your reflections on this year's Virtual Event to claire@theartscenter.net.
