With the support of the Cape Breton Partnership, 16 creative sector organizations have created this video campaign to advocate for the importance of ongoing support for arts and culture during the COVID-19 pandemic and in its aftermath.
The initiative is intended to spur public and political action that will protect the creative sector, which is still in critical need of support in order to overcome the impacts of COVID-19.
This video emphasizes the pandemic’s particularly devastating effect on arts and culture. Employment data from Statistics Canada shows that the creative sector is the furthest sector from recovery and has been the hardest hit throughout the pandemic.
Many of the existing supports are not sufficient to meet the diverse needs of artists and creative organizations. While most sectors are entering a recovery period, the culture sector is still struggling to survive.
Please share this and please join us in supporting the arts in Cape Breton and beyond.
