"We are living history right now. I believe we need to do more to
document this unique moment in America, and who better to convey
what we all are feeling than our country's greatest artists? It is
my hope that in 50 years, art history classes will pull this book
off the shelf and understand the deep emotion of this time." -
William Weinaug Around the world, many individuals and families
have faced isolation due to COVID-19. Our lives have been changed
as we face a historical crisis of unprecedented scale. But beauty
has also come from this hardship. The Great American Paint In (R)
was birthed to allow artists to paint their emotions during the
pandemic, capturing this period of history in a unique way -
through art. This book curates the products of the Paint In (R),
revealing the responses of over 50 artists from across the
continent. Artists share their experiences, their losses, and their
hopes for the future. In doing so, they demonstrate the real grit
and backbone of the American pandemic story. Like so many enduring
these difficult times, they discovered a whole new world and a
brand "new normal" that allows them to live, work, survive - and,
most importantly, create. These stories have been shared by Wekiva
Island online, at Gallery CERO, and around the country in several
travelling art exhibits. Now, for the first time, they are being
brought together in a single volume. Select artists include: Hai-Ou
