In an effort to keep local businesses afloat, the parking lane of Grand Avenue has been closed off with concrete barriers, allowing businesses to set up outdoor dining. Businesses and artists have painted the concrete barriers, creating small outdoor murals that run along 3 or 4 blocks on both sides of the street. The center lane of Grand Avenue is now given over to parking, with traffic moving along the left lane. Despite the efforts of the city, there seem to be a number of vacant storefronts, indicating businesses that have gone under in the past year.

description: Photographs of mural at Muramid Art & Cultural Center in process of being painted by Marilyn Huerta. Photographs by Joanne Tawfilis. Being sent home from CSUSM with instructions to work from home, I was caught by surprise but I thought this would be a nice change of pace and I could find some free time to create my art. What I didn’t know was we’d be home far longer than I expected and the Stay-at-Home quarantine orders was not only coming from our university but also from our state and nation. The news on my television blared and it was nerve wrecking to hear but we couldn’t refrain from listening to it. The excitement in the voice of all newscasters made my heart beat a little faster and the news was creating quite a panic for all. It was not only in our local region but it was global! I am a double CSUSM graduate and my research and practice has been focused on the arts and mental health. I also teach art healing courses through the CSU Shiley Institute for Palliative Care so I knew what I needed to do. I started by coping mechanisms by sketching rough drafts and dooldes in my sketchbook. It depicted what I was hearing on the news and the stress I was feeling. Then, we were told to wash our hands all the time but now we needed to wear a face mask everywhere we went? Wow, how is this happening in 2020? From sketching in my books and journals, I’d find time to paint in the evenings and on the weekends after spending long periods of time on the computer. Afterall, all communication was now via something called Zoom? What in the world is Zoom, I thought. When I was growing up, my parents taught me and brothers to go outside and play, “get away from the television, it will make you go blind”, they say.

Darkness and Light
subject: COVID-19 (Disease) and the arts
subject: COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-
subject: Essential workers
subject: Medical personnel
description: The collage is intended as a tribute to the multitude of heroes who sustained us and brought us together as one people during the COVID-19 pandemic. It features healthcare professionals and many other essential workers from across the globe who took care of our physical and emotional needs during a grim period of escalating sickness, death, and intense social isolation. The new coronavirus had no discrimination. It attacked the rich as well as the poor, people of all races, creeds and politics, in over two hundred countries. But it disproportionally harmed the most vulnerable among us: the elderly, the poor, and people of color. Cities across the globe were deserted. Yet doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to save multitudes of lives and held the hands of dying patients unable to be with their loved ones. With protective equipment scarce, some nurses improvised scrubs from plastic trash bags. Paramedics, police, firemen and other first responders continued to safeguard us. Grocery workers, farm workers, delivery people, caretakers, and janitors continued to provide essential services, regardless of the risk to their own lives. Volunteers cared for the hungry, manning food banks and handing out food to the homeless. Hungry families lined up in their cars to receive food packages at parking lots. Musicians improvised ways to lift our spirits. To support frontline healthcare workers, the Global Citizen organization gathered together musicians from around the world to broadcast and stream a two-hour concert into our homes. The historic “One World: Together at Home” concert was the source of many of the photographs in this collage. This is a small representation of those who helped us, some risking, even losing their lives to save us. May they inspire us to link our hands together around the world in unity.
