In a bit of life and art meeting, the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University is holding a virtual art exhibit of pieces related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The exhibition will run through Friday, Dec. 11, a university news release reported. Titled “Pandemic Art Lessons: A Women’s Art Institute Online Initiative,” the exhibit has pieces both directly related to the pandemic and those created out of expression in reaction to the restrictions and challenges people have faced.

Curators and Women’s Art Institute co-instructors Patricia Olson and Paige Tighe put together a virtual exhibition with works of art by sixteen women and non-binary artists. 

“During these months of the coronavirus pandemic, subsequent isolation, and social upheaval, artists have turned on their creativity, delving deeply into their studio practice. While some have taken on these events as a subject, others have seemingly worked in opposition to its effect on our lives," the rexhibit curators said in the release. "In these wide-ranging responses to our invitation, artists demonstrate that art cannot be denied even in these confounding times.”
