Two years into the pandemic, artists and arts organizations are doing “critical and transformative work” foundation Executive Director Mary Clare Stevens says in an interview.“Even though a lot them received emergency grants in year one, they’re still making up for significant losses after two years of shutdowns — income lost from tickets and fundraisers,” Stevens says. “And even before the pandemic, it was so hard to survive as an arts organization.
“Many arts organizations created online programming during the pandemic, which represents, to me, an incredible amount of creativity,” she says. “Now many of them are looking to retain these sorts of hybrid models with both in-person and online programming because they’re reaching broader audiences, but that takes work — and it comes with a cost.”Executive Director Suzanne Isken.
