  #ArtsALX was inspired by the need for artists to share their work given t
 he difficulty of performing\, teaching and holding exhibits in the time of
  COVID-19. The lack of revenue from performances\, classes and exhibitions
  has led to critical financial problems for the arts. Most artists and org
 anizations have had to cancel seasons and indoor events for the foreseeabl
 e future\, transitioning to smaller\, outdoor events and virtual presentat
 ions.\n\n"We knew as the weather gets colder\, gathering will become more 
 challenging\," says Alexandria Arts Alliance Board President Melinda Kernc
 . "There is amazing and inspirational art happening all around us\, and we
  want Alexandria residents to experience it\, even if they are staying hom
 e. These artists and arts organizations desperately need support from the 
 community they serve so well. This entertaining\, collaborative showcase p
 rovides a way to ensure the arts will emerge strong when the pandemic subs
 ides."\n\nHomegrown Restaurant Group will donate 10% from all take-out ord
 ers mentioning ACT 4 #ArtsALX on the evening of the event. Thank you to Ho
 ly Cow\, Pork Barrel BBQ\, The Sushi Bar\, Sweet Fire Donna's\, Tequila & 
 Taco\, and Whiskey & Oyster. Grab dinner and head home to watch the show!\
 n\nThe Alexandria Arts Alliance thanks event collaborators and contributor
