We miss you and hope you are healthy and safe! We know you've been moving and creating. Show us your Art!
Access the form at masongross.rutgers.edu/covidart to upload video or imagery to be part of the (we-hope-short-lived) series, "Art in the Time of Coronavirus." None of it has to be "finished," polished, or perfect. Feel free to be spontaneous.

Mason Gross Students: Many of you rely on an audience, a stage, or a gallery wall to complete your work. We want to continue to give that to you--virtually, at least.

Access the form at masongross.rutgers.edu/covidart to upload video or imagery to be part of the (we-hope-short-lived) series, "Art in the Time of Coronavirus." Whether it be dancing in your living room, practicing on a tiny keyboard, designing a costume, or painting in your bedroom: None of it has to be "finished," polished, or perfect. Feel free to be spontaneous.

You deserve to be heard and seen. Show us what you're making.

We miss you and hope you are all healthy and safe.

Note: This proposed activity is purely extracurricular and voluntary, and of course, creators of submitted work will be acknowledged by name and social media handle(s). Music at Mason Gross-Rutgers Rutgers Art & Design, Mason Gross Mason Gross Dance Rutgers Filmmaking Center Rutgers University
