As arts organizations plan to bring people back into their offices and their halls, they must carefully balance the needs and demands of multiple stakeholder groups. Our recent Arts Executive poll surveyed leaders on their plans to keep staff, artists, and audiences safe as they reopen.
Highlights from the survey include:
Most arts organizations are still below pre-pandemic staffing levels, but return appears to be accelerating.
The majority of arts organizations are actively enforcing local government COVID protocols and many are taking additional steps to ensure safety and comfort.
Most orgs are asking staff and artists to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but many are relying on self-reported compliance vs. requiring hard proof.
