“The last show our school did was completely virtual, and I can remember literally being on the opposite end of my room, singing and dancing without a care in the world… Even though we weren’t together, we were still able to create something beautiful, and to be honest with you, that’s all that really matters. Especially now during a pandemic. That only proves the importance of arts education…Just being able to sing with people or play an instrument, it’s absolutely amazing that even though we are so, so far apart, through the amazing things that our state does for arts education, we are still able to have some kind of normalcy.”
“I think if there’s anything we’ve learned from the past year, it’s how important art education is. It keeps us alive, it gives us community, it shows us that we can still be connected even when it seems like we’re so disconnected. And if I have any advice for future generations it would be to persevere through any obstacles you may face, especially in the arts. If you have a passion for the arts, don’t give up. Keep trying to find ways to create.”
