Episode 12: Arts In The Age of COVID-19

On this very special live episode of “Gathering Ground,” we welcomed a panel of individuals whose contributions and leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic are helping ensure support for artists across Chicago and Illinois communities.As we all know, this historic time has affected all of us, regardless of what our work is and how we carry it out. While many of us turn to work from home, individuals in the arts communities don’t have that luxury and have had arts, restaurant, and retail jobs alike pulled out from under them, in many cases overnight.This conversation brought together individuals from different levels of leadership who are working to assess and create channels of support for artists and arts organizations. After our panel discussion we took some questions from the audience!These resources named in this episode and more are available at www.mortengroup.com/covid-19-resources.Also available: the video on YouTube
