The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the arts and cultural sector globally. Many museums, galleries, theaters, and performance venues have had to close their doors temporarily or limit capacity to adhere to social distancing guidelines. This has resulted in financial losses, canceled events, and layoffs within the industry. Additionally, artists and cultural workers have faced challenges in showcasing their work, collaborating with others, and reaching audiences due to restrictions on gatherings and travel. Despite these challenges, many in the arts and cultural sector have adapted by moving events online, creating virtual exhibitions, and finding new ways to engage with audiences during these difficult times.
