BHWilson, I debated using in a crisis instead of in crisis. The crisis may be a county's crisis or a person's crisis---any crisis, so I left it like that.
I know artists create during any kind of crisis. Art has a role in daily life. How could art help someone feel better when they are in a crisis?
To the last question: Music can be a balm when emotions are painful, or an echo for expression and catharsis. Literature, performance or film can provide insights. Visual arts can help us see differently. Any artform can be an entertaining distraction from unpleasant realities in life.
