Artist Relief, an initiative started by seven national arts grantmakers to support artists during the coronavirus pandemic, has released the findings of its Covid-19 Impact Survey for Artists and Creative Workers, which it claims underscores the necessity of direct and immediate financial aid. While it comes as no surprise that the cultural sector is suffering during the ongoing quarantine, the numbers show that a staggering 95 percent of artists have experienced income loss and 62 percent of artists are unemployed because of Covid-19. Eighty percent of the 11,000 individuals who participated said that they have no recovery plan.
