What do artists do when they are at home during a pandemic? They keep making art. The Dunedin Fine Art Center re-opened on June 1st with an exhibit called Wish You Were Here, a collection of postcard-sized drawings and collages mailed in by local artists during the quarantine. My favorite art collections (whether they are created with paint, chalk or sand) are ones that have a theme because I love seeing how artists choose to convey the same subject in such different ways. Viewed together, the post cards paint a picture of our shared experience - what we miss, what we hope for, and what connects us even when we are apart.

Travel tips: The Wish You Were Here exhibit will be on display until June 30. Staff are stationed at the entrances to check temperatures with touchless thermometers, and masks are required. Because state and local guidelines are changing frequently, check DFAC’s website (https://www.dfac.org/) for current hours, as well as upcoming events.
Some very interesting, imaginative & entertaining perspectives on Covid-19 and the quarantine.
