Rand Suffolk: “This pandemic year has been difficult for the entire Atlanta arts community. We realized early on that, while the way we did business had to change, our mission did not. We pivoted by offering virtual content and programs before reopening to the public, in July 2020, with safety measures in place to protect patrons and staff. We also had incredible support from the community including members, donors, and local foundations. We’re looking forward to what we hope will be a ‘boomerang’ year.”
