The Krannert Art Museum, the Museum of the Grand Prairie, The Urbana Free Library, Urbana Arts and Culture Program, the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Illinois, and Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, among other organizations, are calling for art that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic.

The challenge for artists is to look at current struggles in society: COVID-19 (sickness, grief, loss, isolation, fear for loved ones, etc.), systemic racism, economic crisis, climate change and political polarization and imagine a way forward.
