Even though community of artists and audiences direct engagement was limited throughout this period because some never entered the studio until Fall 2021, emails, Wechat messages and most importantly regular Zoom board meetings and community gathers were held to gather feedback and help with planning that evolved minute by minute navigating many concerns with in the COVID virus in the community.
