Letter from Our Executive Director

How about a little fun while becoming a masterpiece? We are having fun with the Google Arts and Culture app that places your selfie inside masterworks by Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Johannes Vermeer, and other masters from throughout art history. Art Filter and Art Transfer let you try on artifacts and become masterpieces while learning about art.

There is no end to the virtual experience! We are in process of creating a virtual DAI community for artists and art enthusiasts to convene, connect, and collaborate with opportunities for you to get involved in supporting the many ways artists enrich our lives, even from afar. Come see the DAI on the Smartify app. You will find our local artists and special DAI exhibitions alongside places like the Louvre and MoMa.

Other virtual opportunities include these on our website:

1. Art Standards- art videos for youth and schools

2. Artist Inspired -video shorts featuring artists and their inspiration

3. Art in Bloom- a new platform for purchasing art for friends and loved ones. We hope you continue to check our website and add this visual aesthetic into your everyday.

Staying connected is vital to us all right now. Our galleries are open as well as being able to find us in the virtual world.
