Pandemic Gallery

This gallery was created to allow for community healing through the eyes of children and to make the voice of children heard during a time when they may be feeling isolated. MCRC and ACT is aware of the challenges and uncertainty that this pandemic has brought on. Art and creativity are strong ways in which humans can express in order to makes sense of and reflect on the elements of life and being human during a pandemic.
