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

Ms Anna Walsh:

Learning from the crisis we have been through and which we are perhaps still going through, interrogating and examining the policies and the financial structures that arts centres and venues have inherited would be a good thing at this point in time. There is no point in going back to a situation where short-term funding cycles or discordant or unconnected thinking or approaches are built back into the structures again. Much more consideration of how the sector should be rebuilt and how it could be built better for the benefit of everybody - artists and their communities - would be a useful outcome of this crisis.
