“The arts are crucial,” Pritzker said, shortly before he extended his stay-at-home order through April 30. “We know that people are experiencing anxiety because they have to stay inside so much, but I promise you we will come together again in public. I just ask that people pay attention to when the data says that our current problem will peak, and also to when we will come off that peak. That way, they might be able to see their way toward the other side of this. I see it. And making sure that artists are still producing and creating is going to be vitally important as this great state and this great country recovers.”
