Artists in place is a Philadelphia-based collective that helps actors, writers, musicians, and other creatives during the current pandemic, while also providing people with art, entertainment, and a sense of sanity and well-being.
“At a time when we are all looking for reasons to smile, we are turning to artists through film, music, books, poetry, virtual museum tours, live theater streams, and so much more,” said Artists in Place Co-Founder Becky Fleckner. “Without the artists, none of those things would be possible.”
“However, the sudden nature of what is happening in the world today directly affects so many of us. Within a matter of hours most of us have lost everything we’ve been working on for weeks, months, some even years.”
The group's flagship effort is a series of online telethons designed to bring sanity and well-being to people through art while also “helping the helpers” who create it.
