Being surrounded by beautiful art is an anchor for Belleville Public Library Parrott Gallery acting curator Wendy Rayson-Kerr. Otherwise, there is plenty of confusion and frustration as she and other staff members, artists themselves and members of the public, continue to cope with the prolonged Covid 19 pandemic.
Shows that were planned have had to be cancelled or postponed. Cancellations by the artists themselves lead to trying to find an alternative artist who is ready and able to provide a suitable show. Meanwhile, many dozens of paintings and art works must be loaded in, placed and hung and then dismantled and moved out with reduced staff hours. Plus, reduced gallery hours are frustrating many regular gallery visitors.
