Is the Day of Visiting Galleries in Person Long Gone?

I belong to a woman's art organization in Baton Rouge. PreCovid our shows would be packed. We just had a wonderful reception last night in one of the venues we use. Despite much publicity and invitations the show was poorly attended - at least it appeared to be to us since we are used to so much more.

That made me think about all the changes that have happened since Covid - people working remotely, kids attending class remotely, and few people going to concerts or any other activity with crowds. This scenario describes me. I have not been to a movie theater or live concert in over 2 years. I admit I am venturing out more and do have some live events that I plan to attend but I have been spoiled. I enjoyed all the streaming LIVE performances my favorite rock bands put on and from the comfort of my own home with comfy chairs.

So back to my art thoughts. I feel like it is because you get to interact with the artists and many times, see paintings that don't come to your news feed. I would like to hear your thoughts as I prepare to attend another reception this weekend that I have artwork on display!!
