Last year, the arts world spent most of the summer trying to figure out what to do next. In 2021, a majority of organizations are managing to make something work, whether it’s being done safely in-person or virtually, for now.
Due to the everchanging nature of the pandemic, we suggest checking the websites or contacting organizations to find out if performances are virtual or in-person, and all other relevant information!
We’ve rounded up a few events us arts enthusiasts will love, and there’s plenty more to come in July.
