Please join the University Library for the second virtual exhibit in the COVID-19 Spring Event Series, “Art From the Frontlines: Visual Expressions From Medical Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” an exhibit that features artwork created by healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as in-depth interviews with the artists. The discussions and artwork take a deeper look into the struggles and everyday battles that the healthcare industry faced at the height of the pandemic and continues to face as we work toward mass vaccination. This exhibit places a human face on the “essential workers” who worked diligently to keep us all safe, honoring their contributions and celebrating the ways in which they coped during this trying time.
