Cataclysmic Losses

More than $150 billion of Creative Economy sales and goods were estimated to be lost— just between April and July of 2020.

Over 50% of all creative jobs

Over 2.7 million Arts Workers have lost their jobs during the pandemic, with particularly heavy losses in the fine and performing arts industries, with estimated losses of almost 1.4 million jobs and $42.5 billion in sales.
