Creative Community Care Traveling Exhibition St Paul

A part of Creative Community Care November 1–December 15, 2024 St. Paul, MN

Creative Community Care: Artists Respond to Pandemic Times is an interactive group exhibit exploring concerns and questions arising from COVID-19 and racial violence at the intersection of the arts, learning, faith, and the city. Eight artists adapted their creative practices to process their own experiences with grief and memory, relationships as neighbors and friends, and roles as parents and caregivers. Their works invite us to consider the relevance of the arts for healing and dream of new ways we might care for our communities.
