Support Art during Crisis // Artists React

Be well, SOTAns! We hope you are all staying safe and during this unprecedented time. This week, we wanted to highlight just a few of the ways you can stay involved with your beloved art community and support local artists during the pandemic. This is not an exhaustive list, but we hope that it's helpful in some way or another! We are keeping our entire creative community in mind during this time and will continue to post content to keep us all connected and to uplift local artists. The interview this week is actually a virtual panel discussion between local artists Erin Sandsmark, Dustin Steuck, and Larsen Husby, all of whom have been past SOTA interviewees, discussing their reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on their practices.
