The arts and specifically, the artistic venues, cultural institutions, and nonprofit organizations in the City of Boston, are critical to our city and its economy. COVID-19 has devastated the arts, and sadly, many venues, institutions, and museums are struggling. Some may not recover without private or public financial support.

Topics include:

• What lasting effect will COVID-19 make to Boston’s arts venues and organizations?
• Will employees, staff, and performers be able to recover in 2021?
• What is the status of related businesses that rely on the arts for revenue?
• What will it take to turn the lights back on, bring the bands back together, and put beautiful works of art back on display?

• Kara Elliott-Ortega, Chief of Arts and Culture, City of Boston
• Mark Kerwin, Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
