Even as some art museums and cultural institutions begin to tentatively re-open their buildings this month, insiders say that most of the action in the art world will remain online for the foreseeable future. When their physical locations closed this spring, many museums, galleries, and art event organizers got to work developing innovative online experiences. They have been creating enhanced videos and 3-D virtual tours to showcase their exhibits and events. Since artists never stop creating, some new exhibits are showing work made during the pandemic. And while there is no match for looking at art in person, those of us at home who love art can use the internet to choose from an array of interesting virtual options in locales all over the globe.

Many arts institutions are currently facing funding issues and increased financial pressure, and some are very concerned about their viability. Attending any cultural event—even online—helps support artists and the arts at this critical time. Here are eight interesting art exhibits and events now on view online, and these are just a sampling of many more virtual options out there for art aficionados. Here we present a diverse mix of online exhibits that include museums, some larger galleries, and smaller art events.
