In the same spirit in which she created an art installation in Hopkins Green earlier this year, Southern Virginia University art professor Barbara Crawford has fashioned an art instillation on the front of the SVU campus. Both installations celebrate the community during this ongoing pandemic. The one at SVU, installed with the help of her students, is in honor of St. Crispin’s Day, Oct 25, and is a way, she said, to thank all of the members of SVU community who have come together to stay safe during the pandemic. “Our battle is not over but we are together,” she said. St. Crispin fought the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 (focused on by Shakespeare in “Henry V”) against great odds and won. (photo by SVU photographer Brittany Huntsman)
