On Monday, May 30 2022 The Canadian Network for Arts & Learning held a bilingual national digital roundtable discussion dealing with the current state of arts and learning in Canada after more than two years dealing with pandemic restrictions, and where is it headed. Did we benefit from learning new ways of connecting with our students and audiences, or do we want things to go back to how they were before? What is the role of the arts in helping our communities heal in the aftermath of COVID-19? Artist-educators and arts practitioners from across the country discussed what they learned during this period of isolation, what they foresee as the "new normal", and how artists and arts learnings are faring with the gradual measures to re-open society, and other topics.
