Getting artists and creative workers back to work
Our partner organization Americans for the Arts is putting out a call to lawmakers with this infographic detailing the unique economic difficulties faced by the arts sector. At the beginning of the pandemic, arts organizations were the first to close and they will likely be the last to open. Congress members, old and new, are being reminded through the posting of this ad in Politico, The Hill and Roll Call that the arts must be included in federal relief. The ad emphasizes the devestating situation of the arts sector and creative workers and the urgent need for additional relief. Support our arts workers and nonprofits by sharing the information and spreading the word.
Accessibility check: An infographic that reads, '‘The arts unify our country and will drive our recovery. The arts are among the hardest hit sectors of the economy: 63% unemployment for creative workers, 37% nonprofit arts jobs lost, 99% cancelled shows and exhibits. Let's get artists and creative workers working again.'‘
