While the ongoing pandemic has forced many art spaces to close their doors, the Leonardo has emerged realigned with a spirit of creativity and innovation. "Every cultural institution had just come out of a really dry spell because COVID not only shut us down but a lot of exhibits stopped touring and so the Leonardo really took that time to say, 'What is important to us?'" said Mia McCain, senior marketing manager.

While it was primarily concerned with the question of when, the Leonardo had focused on the question of how."We didn't plan on existing in the same way that we did before. We thought, 'How do we have to change? The world has changed and how can we come out on this other side better?'" McCain said.
