Coronavirus

As a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) swept through the world in 2020, preparedness plans, masking policies and more public policy changed just as quickly. WVXU has covered the pandemic's impact on the Tri-State from the very beginning, when on March 3, 2020, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine barred spectators from attending the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus over concerns about the virus, even though Ohio had yet to confirm a single case of COVID-19.

Small creative spaces in the Queen City are usually great spots for community building, cramming artists and art lovers into small gallery spaces for conversation and connection.

But what happens when you can't pack those spaces due to a global pandemic?

Cincinnati creatives are doing what they do best: getting creative with responses to the challenging realities of the COVID-19 crisis.

Joining Cincinnati Edition are Northside gallery Thundersky, Inc. founders Bill Ross and Keith Banner; Camp Washington gallery Wave Pool founder Cal Cullen; and visual artist Prince Lang.

Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
