Challenges Facing Arts Venues and Theatres as a result of Covid-19: Discussion

Ms Anna Walsh:

On arts centres, we believe that they are places of work for artists. It has not always been their primary role but it should be their primary role. It is an increasingly important one as we emerge from this crisis. That work can involve everything from doing their own work, making their own work, producing or directing the work of youth groups, local drama groups or work with groups of interest in the community. It is a mix. That mix is dependent on the locality and the communities in the area of the particular arts centre.
