Virtual Performances from Our Partners
June 2020
In times of uncertainty, we know that many people turn to the arts for solace, hope, and connection. Although we at Krannert Center are saddened at the prospect of not being with our incredible community of supporters in person, we have decided to compile an ongoing list of artists and arts organizations who are offering online content, live streaming, and other resources to bring comfort, unity, and optimism to these complex days.
We hope that you will partake of these opportunities to reflect and find restoration from the beauty of the arts, and we’re glad to hear suggestions from you as well. Please drop us a note at krannertcenter [at] illinois.edu with your additions to this list.
