The many ways the creative arts spoke to and through us this year.

“…to be able to be my best self and continue what I’m doing at the same time, then I have to prioritize caring for myself too.”

"What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make together when we say, 'Here, have my seat'..."

"listen to my poems. but do not look for me. look for you. -- you"

"The thread of being an artist runs deep, and I appreciate the re-introduction to my second grade artist self — who’s been there all along."

"The repetition in form here conveys exhaustion and a rhythmic reframe too: Let’s dream something else."
