Let s be clear: 2020 absolutely sucked. For pretty much everyone. (I gather Jeff Bezos and some other billionaires did just fine, but I digress.) And it especially sucked for the arts community, a world that operates on a shoestring even during the best of times. We re obviously not close to the best of times, or even so-so times. The national response to the pandemic when it comes to arts organizations, artists and businesses dedicated to the things that make life worth living concert halls, theaters, clubs, etc. is an embarrassment. Anyone wanting to make the case for Americans being an uncultured mob with no regard for anything but money need look no further than how we ve treated artists during the pandemic. I d love to say the state response was better, but Washington s support in terms of CARES Act funding aimed at the arts pales compared to many states.
