N+T Asks: How can art offer hope to artists and the public?

On April 24, 2020, we hosted our fourth N+T Asks conversation. This week Assistant Curator Leah Triplett Harrington asked you and our guests, artist and N+T alum, Stephanie Cardon, and N+T Board Member, Founder and CEO of eu2be Charla Jones, "How does art offer hope to artists and the public?" Together we talked about where we’re finding hope right now, making art an expression of hope, how hope can be an important catalyst for change, and on how the hopes we have today might lead us to action in the post-pandemic world.

And, you can dig into the topics of the conversation even further with some of the resources below, shared with us by Stephanie.
