COVID-19 is affecting all our lives and all parts of our economy.  The impacts on the arts sector were felt early, with cancellations of performing arts, sector events, and national and international tours, with a concomitant loss of jobs and gigs.  The Government response has been fast, and we welcome the provisions that have been made that will provide some support for people in the sector in the short to medium term.  We’re keeping tabs on what’s out there for our sector – and looking at how we can contribute to the conversations and collaborations that will shape ‘the new normal’ for our sector and our communities when COVID-19 is eventually behind us.
