Art Meets Life: Social Justice in Urban America

New York is the cultural nexus of the performing and visual arts in the United States - or at least, it was, prior to COVID19. We will explore the rebirth of the City as we emerge from the pandemic, meeting with and experiencing the art of musicians, actors, and directors, and visiting museums and galleries. We will explore the short- and long-term effects of 2020-2021 on the creative lives and livelihoods of gig artists and institutions both large and small. How has art changed? How will art change? What has been lost and what may be gained?
