SPOTLIGHT ON: MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Spotlight on Michigan State University’s Creativity in the Time of COVID-19

In this month’s member spotlight, we take a look back at Michigan State University’s three year project at the intersections of public art and public health. The project documented how everyday people used creativity to cope with the pandemic by crowdsourcing contributions, undertaking public humanities collaborations, and highlighting art as a tool for combating inequity and injustice.
