Current conditions clearly present great challenges to students, artists, and all in our communities both local and global. The arts provide a source of inspiration and solace to many in good times and in bad, and all who work at Krannert Center take pride and joy in helping to provide a place to gather in community. Although it is necessary that our operations change for a time, we hope that you continue to gain hope and strength from the arts, even if through different means for now. Thank you for your steadfast support, and we look forward to seeing you before long.
