When coronavirus cases surged in December and she feared for the health care workers she knew, Encinitas Friends of the Arts President Naimeh Woodward found solace through art.
She brought together four other artists to create decorative banners thanking frontline workers hospital staff, mail carriers, grocery story clerks and firefighters who were helping keep the community safe. This week, their five new banner designs started appearing along some of the city’s busier roadways and at community facilities.
“We just wanted people know we care about them,” Woodward said as she described the new project Friday.
