While some people spent the past 14 months of the COVID-19 pandemic counting masks and bottles of hand sanitizer, others took to canvas, ceramics and other media to create. La Jolla’s Athenaeum Music & Arts Library has opened an exhibit clocking such creativity.
“Marking Time: What Athenaeum Artists Create in Quarantine” is open now through Friday, July 9, featuring works by 49 artists who either had a solo show at the Athenaeum in the past 30 years or were commissioned to design a concert program cover. The Athenaeum invited them all to reveal something they had created since the pandemic took hold in March 2020.
