When the economic downturn hit Calgary in 2014, offices and businesses vacated the city’s downtown core. Today, with the added impact of the pandemic, nearly 30 percent of office space remains vacant. But a program started when the city was booming is helping hold up spirits and support future investment in Calgary’s business district.

The Embrace, as the memorial is called, will be installed on a new plaza named after Dr. King’s 1965 march from Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood to Boston Common. The event came a day after King spoke in favor of desegregating schools at a joint legislative session at the Massachusetts State House.
King Boston executive director Imari Paris Jeffries tells Artnet News that he hopes the memorial which arrives at a time when the United States is reckoning with what kind of history its monuments tell will “inspire a new civic narrative.”
“Boston has the opportunity to be the very first city in the nation to emerge post-vaccine as a place that embodies values of justice,” Jeffries says. “Now more than ever people want to ’embrace’ friends, loved ones, and each other. This is a symbol of that sentiment.”
It all started 160 years ago with a meeting of a group of friends.

.- December 2020 marks the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts, which gave rise to Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Polands largest gallery presenting contemporary art.
It all started 160 years ago with a meeting of a group of friends. At the time when Poland was not present on maps, a group of artists and patrons decided to establish a society that would take care of Polish art and artists. Today, the society still exists and implements the same goals in a new reality. In response to the crisis that affected the artistic community during the pandemic, the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts together with Zachęta has initiated the 160/160 project. It aims to support the artists associated with the Zachęta collection. Since June 2020, several dozen artists have already received funding for their creative work.
