Message from the Editor

Dear friends of Gallery&Studio,

As we all gather our strength and inner resources during this most difficult period, we offer our good wishes to you and our hopes that all this will end soon. In the meantime, we have opened a section on our website called Art in Quarantine. It is a pop-up virtual gallery for those who wish to share their creative response to this catastrophe with others.

Please feel free to submit an image, poem or video.
