What do you do when a virus cancels the national conference where you were going to present? If you're amazing like Dr. Carissa DiCindio, you do it anyway and virtually! Carissa presented Shaping the Field: Scholarship and Research in University Art Museum Education Programs last week.

She describes the experience saying, "It was an energetic conversation. It was especially interesting to consider how recent events with COVID-19 might affect and change the field through community collaborations, online and distance learning, and possible budget cuts in the future."

Thank you, University of Arizona School of Art, for letting me be part of this exhibition. I am grateful for my instructors and the staff that help me have a better understanding and gaining experience in creating art. Looking forward to showing my work! <3

This is so special and want to thank professors, advisors, editors, art director, graphic and web designers, curators, art staff and everyone involved for their creative and hard work to make this online exhibit possible. It warms my heart and brings joy to be able to read the art statements and listen to artist videos — truly inspired by all the art stories and talent from this program. Thank you for this gift and thank you for including me.
