Building Back Better after Covid

The Covid-19 pandemic has wrought havoc globally, with enormous impact on the arts and culture sector. Fundamental weaknesses in the structure and operation of the industry have been revealed. At the same time, restricted access to live cultural experience has created a global appetite for a return to face to face experience that involve us physically as human beings. As we return, we have the opportunity to develop organizations with greater resilience for the future.
