“The arts provide escape and beauty, whether it is performance art, visual, or a merging of multiple mediums, and the ‘Immersive van Gogh’ exhibit in Toronto (pictured) was no exception. In an outside venue, attendees were surrounded with the swirling works of van Gogh in a massive digital spectacle. It was a truly innovative way to bring art to people in a safe and socially distant setting, giving guests a bit of beauty during a year where it’s been harder to find it. Other notable events that brought art to people include Hyundai’s drive-thru art museum; one exhibit featured the hashtag #ArtHeals. What could be more poignant? In the spirit of art, Encore Event Company and the Orlando Museum of Art’s ‘Don’t Forget About Us‘ installation was an inventive merging of art and the specific impact the pandemic has had on the industry. Event pros’ efforts to keep the arts and the event industries alive have been profound and visually fantastic.” –Katrina M. Randall, senior copy editor
