The Arts Online

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

Today’s blog post is dedicated to Frankie Messina, a local arts advocate, who is compiling a list of local artists of all genres, styles and disciplines who are sharing their work online.  This list includes live art classes, live streamed musical events, videos, social distancing festivals, podcasts and much, much more.

This list is constantly growing, both organically and exponentially, as the word of its existence spreads on social media.  It is so inspiring how many creative people and artists want to share their talents with everyone currently self-quarantined at home.  May we all remember that when a global crisis forced us all to shelter in place, it was the ARTS that kept us entertained, that comforted us in the uncertainty and that ultimately saved our sanity.

While Mr. Messina is promoting artists based in the Central Florida area, borders and boundaries become irrelevant on the world wide web.  Anyone anywhere can access the work of these artists, so I highly recommend that you do.  Please check out the work of the creatives on this list and keep the arts alive during the pandemic.

I am honored and grateful to Mr. Messina for including my new YouTube channel – The Wandering Art Historian – in this list.

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
