Seen any crazy, creative trends lately? We have! Recent protest signs are some of the most captivating, original and expressive creations around. Authentic. Provocative. Zeitgeist-y. Even more fascinating are some of the sign artists themselves, inspiring other creatives to coin new descriptive words such as “Covidiot.” Hmmmmmm. We can’t wait to see how museums will narrate this point in history in their future exhibitions! 

LOOK WHO’S BOLD AF
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo is handling the extended lockdown like a BOSS. Gov. Gina (let’s just call her SuperGirl) initiated #RIArts throughout her land to connect, strengthen and heal its great people. Rhode Islanders are sharing their creativity  and inspiration by posting artwork in the time of Covid on social media with the #RIArts tag. Freaking-fabulous Shepard Fairey (OMG!) joined in, giving RI its own Angel of Hope and Strength. Time to up your art game, Gov. DeSantis.
