The State of the Arts with Suzanne Nance

Launched in April 2020, The State of the Arts was dedicated to our local arts ecosystem, specifically addressing the unique obstacles and opportunities facing arts leaders and performers during the global pandemic. Through a series of written articles and on-air interviews, we shared the microphone with our arts partners, and asked them to tell their story by highlighting their challenges and innovations. Through The State of the Arts, we were able to document the resilience of the arts community, and learned how we—as peers, partners, and patrons of the arts—can help.

Listen to interviews and read more about what local arts leaders shared in 2020 and 2021 below.
