Good morning. Let’s hope this week is less… umm, unusual. ⛅ Today, advice for online studio visits, US art institutions respond to Capitol attack, and the National Gallery of Art (finally!) acquires quilts by the women of Gee’s Bend.

The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker have joined the widespread condemnations of the Pro-Trump mob attack on the United States Capitol this week.

“The siege on Capitol Hill yesterday during the joint Congress’ ratification of the presidential election should be condemned, not coddled,” said a statement by the National Civil Rights Museum published on January 7. “What the world witnessed yesterday was not a protest, but a riotous mob and an insurrection. We need to call it what it is.”
