New Data On Impact Of The Pandemic On Artists

About 11,000 of the Artist Relief applicants completed a survey co-sponsored by the nonprofit advocacy group Americans for the Arts. Sixty-two percent of those surveyed said they are now unemployed (a number that rose to 67% for California respondents), and 80% do not yet have a plan for how to recover from the crisis. On average, these artists estimated that their annual income will decline by more than $27,000. – Los Angeles Times
