DRMTM is getting ready for The Women’s March this Saturday and deciding what t-shirt to wear and how to design our posters. It’s a good thing we’re okay at writing words and drawing things. Last year in The Silver Lining we highlighted some protest art and were overwhelmed by the outpouring of artistic creativity, both humorous and solemn.
This year, the same goes for vaccination art. Haven’t seen it yet? Do a Google image search. Wow. Most of it is really positive, inspiring and incredibly uplifting. Yet again reinforcing the fact that art heals — physically, emotionally and communally.

The Vaccine Confidence Arts Response Repository
Developed by the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine, this resource is an open-access collection of recent or current projects, organizations and professionals using arts and culture-based approaches to promote COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake.
Amplifier
A nonprofit design lab that builds art and media experiments to amplify the most important movements of our times, has joined in on efforts to promote COVID-19 vaccination uptake.
THE VELVET BANDIT
California’s laid-off lunch lady turned street artist: “Soon, she realized that her identity – white, female, approaching middle-age – afforded her ‘the privilege of being invisible… I don’t think anyone’s looking at me like I’m doing anything wrong.’ She bulk-ordered wallpaper paste and headed out in broad daylight.”
LOOK WHO’S BOLD AF
THE CDC. You heard us, the CDC. And not for the usual reasons, like daily avoiding vertigo from the dizzying job of keeping their Tidy-Bowl boat afloat in the toilet of science v. politics.
The Centers for Disease Control recognize the power of art to move communities, hence its amazing effort, How to Engage the Arts to Build COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence. Get every person you know in public health care and communications to download this guide for partnering with local artists and culture-bearers.
