The Next Normal: Reflections on Arts Innovation and Resilience Post-COVID
Visual & Performing Arts • 58m
The performing arts industry has been thoroughly upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, with venues shut down, performances canceled, and artists out of work. A Brookings Institution report issued last summer estimated the damage in the fine and performing arts at almost 1.4 million jobs and $42.5 billion in sales lost.
On February 10, the Peabody Institute convened arts industry leaders from around the country to explore the path forward for artists and organizations and the long-term, post-COVID landscape for the performing arts. You can watch those panel discussions and find more information here. Key questions addressed included:
What does the future look like?
Will audiences come back?
How will the experience of the arts have changed after COVID?
Facing these and other pressures, how will performing artists and institutions adapt?
In this session, Dean Bronstein will share key takeaways for a re-invented future for the performing arts industry. The moderator will be Sarah Hoover, Associate Dean for Innovation, Interdisciplinary Partnerships and Community Initiatives at the Peabody Institute. To learn more, visit jhu.edu/hopkinsathome
