I have spent the better part of the year singing the praises of our local artists and arts organizations who have found ways to keep the arts alive for all of us, from artists such as Jackie Reeves, who created community murals, so we could be âTogether Apartâ to photographer Lee Geishecker and realtor Annie Hart Cool, who coordinated the Front Steps Project to document families during the quarantine, and the Cotuit Center for the Arts, which brought live theater back with its plein air performance of âThe Zoo Story.â
When I was asked to participate in the annual meeting of ArtsFalmouth last week as one of more than a dozen speakers asked to report on how the pandemic had affected their organization, I thought, for the first time, about my own job and the ways in which I normally do things had also been turned on its head this year.
