Hopkins at Home: The Next Normal: Reflections on Arts, Innovation, and Resilience in a Post-COVID-19 World

Description

The performing arts industry has been thoroughly upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, with venues shut down, performances canceled, and artists out of work. A Brookings Institution report issued last summer estimated the damage in the fine and performing arts at almost 1.4 million jobs and $42.5 billion in sales lost.

On Feb. 10, the Peabody Institute convened arts industry leaders from around the country to explore the path forward for artists and organizations and the long-term, post-COVID-19 landscape for the performing arts. Key questions addressed included:

What does the future look like?

• Will audiences come back?
• How will the experience of the arts have changed after COVID-19?
• Facing these and other pressures, how will performing artists and institutions adapt?

In this session, Dean Fred Bronstein will share key takeaways for a re-invented future for the performing arts industry. The moderator will be Sarah Hoover, associate dean for innovation, interdisciplinary partnerships and community initiatives at the Peabody Institute.
