WHISPER SESSION #4

Dear Artists #WFH by Beatrice Glow

May 1 – May 31

We are as strong as the weakest link in our ecosystem,” writes Beatrice Glow from the epicenter of the epicenter (Queens, NY). In a moment when precarious arts workers face unexpected distress, Glow has compiled Dear Artists #WFH, spanning tools from self-care to time management. Part open letter, artwork, and workbook, Dear Artists #WFH offers countermeasures for culture workers to find their rhythm.

Additionally, Glow is making PPE for healthcare workers and offering a free, open-source tutorial for mask-making here. If you are in the position to give, please consider offering a donation to support Glow's PPE distribution here.
