Mourning the close of museums.
Indeed, there may be "safety" in art.
From Artnet News: Want to avoid catching the coronavirus? Maybe you should have been an artist.
Fine artists, including painters, sculptors, and illustrators, have a remarkably low risk for contacting the disease, according to new data compiled by the New York Times.
Art is the second-safest career, with a physical proximity score of nine and a disease exposure of zero. That ranks it behind only loggers and just ahead of authors and writers, who are at zero on exposure but 14 on proximity.
Graphic designers have comparatively less risk: they score zero for exposure and 34 for how close they typically get to other people.
Thank you to our loyal WAM community.
The world has turned inside out in the past week. A sense of belonging means so much more in anxious days. We thank you—our incredible WAM community—for all the ways you connect and care about the Wichita Art Museum. We’ve honestly felt it this week, as many reached out to the museum. The support is so very appreciated.
Stay safe, remain healthy. We will be back in action and together again. It can’t come soon enough, and we will reach out virtually during this period as we weather a global crisis. We thank you for support of the Wichita Art Museum.
