OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION ART TO REMIND US OF WHO WE CAN BE Global Health eMagazine March 2022 Editor: Majid Sadigh Contributing Editor: Mitra Sadigh During times of confusion, tribulation, grief, uncertainty, and despair, the arts enliven us by reintegrating the disjointed pieces of ourselves and replenishing them with clarity and hope. The arts remind us of our individual and collective potential to grow, evolve, and transform. They remind us of what and who we can be and what we can create. In this new section, we bring you works of art that have moved and inspired us. We encourage you to also share works that have inspired you.

And with a winter surge underway, recovery is still down the road. The arts, of course, are no exception to this situation. Nearly every element of the arts and culture landscape has changed since March, including how art is created, consumed, and monetized. The shuttering of venues has had a devastating economic effect: according to an Americans for the Arts survey, an estimated $14.6 billion have been lost (and increasing every day), and more than 62,000 arts workers have been laid off. Another 50,000 have been furloughed, and a third of arts organizations have had to reduce the salaries of remaining staff.

OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine March 2022 In order to survive, artists and arts organizations have relied on the very ingenuity and innovation that fuel creativity in the first place. Digital spaces have become rife with experimentation, productions and events have been transformed for outdoor spaces, and the act of creative collaboration has sometimes demanded drastic measures (COVID bubbles anyone?). In this issue of American Artscape, we’ll look at the heartbreak and the silver linings, from how arts organizations across the country are faring, to how reopening plans are proceeding, to how the National Endowment for the Arts and our partners have worked together to strengthen the sector during this crisis. In the coming months, artists and arts organizations will continue to face tough decisions. But at the same time, we at the Arts Endowment are confident that the arts—an intrinsic part of human nature, and typically one of the nation’s most booming industries—will prove resilient and prevail. Creativity will not stop. Economic gains will eventually return. The show, as it’s said, will go on.
