Yellow Door Concert Series\n\nA CT 4 #ArtsALX was inspired by the need for artists to share their work giv en the difficulty of performing\, teaching and holding exhibits in the tim e of COVID-19. The lack of revenue from performances\, classes and exhibit ions has led to critical financial problems for the arts. Most artists and organizations have had to cancel seasons and indoor events for the forese eable future\, transitioning to smaller\, outdoor events and virtual prese ntations.\n\n"We knew as the weather gets colder\, gathering will become m ore challenging\," says Alexandria Arts Alliance Board President Melinda K ernc. "There is amazing and inspirational art happening all around us\, an d we want Alexandria residents to experience it\, even if they are staying home. These artists and arts organizations desperately need support from the community they serve so well. This entertaining\, collaborative showca se provides a way to ensure the arts will emerge strong when the pandemic subsides."\n\nHomegrown Restaurant Group will donate 10% from all take-out orders mentioning ACT 4 #ArtsALX on the evening of the event.
