In the early hours of the pandemic, Lorna Mills alongside Faith Holland and Wade Wallerstein co-curated Well Now WTF, among the first and most acclaimed online art exhibitions to open in response to the pandemic and the worldwide closure of cultural spaces.

The exhibition, launched in early April, includes more than a hundred artists, many of them internet-based, from Toronto and around the world. It has since acted as a platform for multiple weekly live streamed events and even a sequel. Coverage from dozens of publications including Canadian Art, CBC, Art Forum and the New York Times have cemented the exhibition and Lorna Mills as a local hero and instigator of hope for artists and art audiences in Toronto and across the globe.
