Fine Fern Fellows

The pandemic has not only reaffirmed our ephemeral condition, teaching us to live in the moment. It has also underlined the importance of art and culture as a positive reinforcement in life and as a way to deal with its difficulties. And it has most of all emphasized the adaptability of artists.

The Art Gallery of Ontario has adapted and put out an open call for artists to share their pandemic work in an online show titled “Portraits of Resilience”. Hundreds of submissions were received from across Canada and around the world.  Four Fern Fine Fellows answered the call: Vanessa Storoniak, Eduardo Lee, Alison Leigh and Louise Moran. Here is our work:

Also, Sara Marin’s article is a positive spin on how artists pivoted during the pandemic. It features my two favourite titans: Ai Weiwei and Banksy. Read here.
