The upheaval of COVID-19 is felt by everyone. Everything is shifting moment by moment, from a benign format change for "creative:impact" to a devastating life change for an artist who may become homeless. What doesn’t change is the compunction for artists to create and for art to connect, calm, and keep us human. Join The Arts Alliance’s Deb Polich and WEMU’s David Fair as they explore these topics week’s edition of "creative:impact."
Creative industries in Washtenaw County add hundreds of millions of dollars to the local economy. In the weeks and months to come, 89.1 WEMU's David Fair and co-host Deb Polich, the President and CEO of The Arts Alliance, explore the myriad of contributors that make up the creative sector in Washtenaw County.
