PHILADELPHIA’S RECOVERY – THE ROLE OF THE ARTS

The arts will be critical to the recovery of the City

  • f Philadelphia:
  • There will be a decline in support from foundation,

corporate, and individual giving. Public support from the government will be critical to help reinvigorate the creative economy and help the arts sector become a $3.4B industry again.

  • Once Philadelphians and visitors can gather in

groups again, they will – the arts organizations, large and small, will be needed to attract visitors and make Philadelphians feel normal, connect them to one another, and reignite civic pride.

  • Due to rising unemployment and furloughs,

Philadelphians will seek free and low-cost arts and culture activities close to home for themselves and their families.

  • Due to the City's major budget reductions, the

City’s libraries, recreation centers, parks, and schools will experience significant gaps in programming that the arts can fill.

  • Due to shrinking resources,

arts organizations and artists need a centralized way to reach new audiences.
