Like most operations in South Wales our venues and theatres suffered badly during the pandemic. Over half of our arts and cultural venues believe they are at risk due to the decline in income, according to a new study from the University of Sheffield.
- New research highlights how arts and cultural fundraisers adapted and responded to Covid-19
- 62 per cent of arts and cultural venues report decline in funds during pandemic
- Medium and small sized non-profit organisations have been unable to rapidly change to online fundraising
- Normal fundraising activities have been impossible for some during periods of social restrictions
- Some artists and organisations are still falling through the cracks in government recovery funds
If you’d like to read the full research you can see it HERE.
