Spain’s Lost Decade Of The Arts

Since the economic crash, the arts in Spain have suffered massive hits – and then there’s the internet. “Between 2007 and 2017, one out of every three musical performances and a quarter of the film showings have disappeared, according to the SGAE 2018 report. There is no cultural activity that does not register a decrease in performances (from 17% of classical music to 57% of the dance) and tickets sold (between 7% and 47%).” – El País (Spain)
