With the onset of COVID arts workers, musicians, live entertainment, crew and all in the sector saw their opportunities to perform, practice their art, and their ability to earn a living devastated.

While for other sectors there is some roadmap back for arts and arts workers it is difficult to see the way forward in a time of physical distancing. To make matters worse many in the sector have been carved out of any support from the state either because they were not employed by a company that could avail of the Wage Subsidy Scheme or because they were not eligible for the COVID payment as they did not work on the relevant date.
