‘ART in the TIME of CORONA’

An SOS ART online Group ART SHOW of Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Devan HORTON


110 greater Cincinnati artists submitted 209 artworks for the show.

Their media were varied including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, fabric, etc. and their subject quite diverse.

They addressed direct effects of the Covid pandemic such as social isolation and loneliness, loss and separation, sickness and death, the world turned upside down, new modes of communication, new discoveries and new ways of coping, the resort to spirituality, the role of information (and misinformation), the role of science… and also addressed societal and political events triggered or unveiled by the pandemic such as unemployment, racial inequity, racial unrest, emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, demands for justice, political divide, negligence and irresponsibility of the government, etc.
