The Show Must Go On! The Impact of COVID-19 on the Arts in Boston
Print PDFThe arts and specifically, the artistic venues, cultural institutions, and nonprofit organizations in the City of Boston, are critical to our city and its economy. COVID-19 has devastated the arts, and sadly, many venues, institutions, and museums are struggling. Some may not recover without private or public financial support.
Topics include:
- What lasting effect will COVID-19 make to Boston’s arts venues and organizations?
- Will employees, staff, and performers be able to recover in 2021?
- What is the status of related businesses that rely on the arts for revenue?
- What will it take to turn the lights back on, bring the bands back together, and put beautiful works of art back on display?
