The arts community has taken a major hit in the coronavirus pandemic with event cancelations, venue closures, job cuts and devastating financial losses. Yet many artists are banding together to do good during the stay-at-home order. Wave Pool Gallery in Camp Washington is a prime example.
The gallery, which has always been a gathering space for the community, is now collecting and distributing food for neighbors in need. Under the Camp Delivery Service, artist volunteers distribute bags of fresh produce and canned goods throughout the neighborhood, with many items donated by the Freestore Foodbank. Each bag includes a work of art. Wave Pool is also continuing its existing food pantry program and says the need has grown exponentially.
Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss Wave Pool Gallery's outreach work within the community are Co-Founder and Executive Director Cal Cullen; and Americorp Volunteer V. Chau.
Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
