Some performances were going virtual because of the pandemic. Some were outright canceled. There were going to be fewer opportunities for gig workers such as musicians, and similarly few opportunities for the community to enjoy the arts at the holidays. So in August, Lott and his wife began thinking of ways to make that connection between musicians and the community. As they talked to members of the local arts community, the project snowballed to become the Virtual Holiday Spectacular, which will be streamed free Sunday, then be available to replay for a month on Facebook. No Facebook account is needed to watch the stream.
