The arts are BACK!

As we wrap up this season, we introduce you to Piedmont Opera and Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center--- two arts organizations that had contrasting experiences during the pandemic. One was forced to shut down almost completely because of its location and the vulnerable aging population it serves, while the other was the only opera company in NC to produce during the state-mandated lockdown. Fast forward to today, both organizations are thriving. Their calendars are filled and most importantly, they are serving their communities. If there is one thing we’ve learned over the past two years, it’s that “post-pandemic” is a term that doesn’t quite accurately capture our global reality. We also know that we’ve been navigating and adjusting to a new normal. Vitality, fellowship, and healing are the qualities the arts spark, and they are what has helped North Carolina rebuild and emerge resiliently from the pandemic! Here in North Carolina, the arts are Back!
