Can developers save the arts?
Republished by ECBN from: ArtsHub
The culture and creative industries are among the most affected by the restrictions of COVID-19. The current pandemic has forced all galleries, museums, art fairs and events to close, which has resulted in much appreciated support initiatives across governments and philanthropic funds. Although a good start, many artists cannot access these stimulus packages and greater support is desperately needed. Developments can extend this support to the cultural industry through the commission and display of public art. Artists were some of the first to be impacted by the government restrictions, which have instigated a period of isolation for artists. Although many visual artists work in solitary, the closures of galleries and museums, the ban on public gatherings and directives to stay home has meant that the impact on the creative industries has been devastating.
