A global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has caused countries and cities to do what they can to mitigate risk of transmission, and the largest step is limiting in-person gatherings.

When you close one door for an artist, they paint another! Creative types in Vancouver and beyond are coming together online to continue to produce digital art and films, and they’ll be showcasing them through streaming festivals and YouTube channels dedicated as quarantine entertainment.
