As I reflect on the past few weeks - a period when so much of the ground
underneath us has fallen away - what sustains me is how incredibly
quickly people are coming together to support one another, and to ensure
people are safe, fed, and cared for. This crisis is being met by a
creative outpouring across all sectors of life, especially in the arts
and humanities. Even as we tend to immediate critical needs, we are also
turning to those things that always sustain us - art, poetry, good
books, great music.
That’s the goal of our work at the Festival - to bring people together
to share ideas and experiences and to find common purpose, even across
our differences. In that spirit, every Friday I’ll share some good news
or fun things happening in our communities alongside favorite CHF
moments from our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners - in the
hopes that we maintain a vibrant connection in a time of physical
distance.
