Letter from the editor:
We've been working hard to keep bringing you the most pressing art news and opinions during this pandemic. From recent reports about the departure of an SFMOMA curator and layoffs at The Shed (a quarter of their full-time staff), the Brooklyn Museum, and the New Museum to an attack on an Asian-American artist, and the story of a Washington state police officer who was refusing to remove a Nazi tattoo on his arm (he eventually did), we hope these stories and more will help keep us all informed and engaged with the changes going on around us.
Let me take this opportunity to encourage you to become a member of Hyperallergic. The first wave of this pandemic has not ended, and as everything still feels so uncertain, and will likely remain that way through the fall, we need your help to continue our daily reporting.
