This is a 30-minute information webinar (via Zoom) for Utah's cultural community.

We plan for this to be the first of a regular series that we will host, inviting various speakers to provide updates in light of COVID-19. This first meeting will be an overview of information and resources at the state level and will explain the Governor’s state of emergency.

We will also review high-level findings from the recent economic impact study during the call; here is a link to the summary report.

We are all standing witness to a history that will be told for generations. Such a time calls for introspective creativity and resilience that's common to the arts and humanities. No one will be exempt from the impacts of COVID-19. While we recognize that attention must be paid first and foremost on the life-saving work happening at this moment in time, including social distancing and increased testing, we know research demonstrates how the arts and humanities positively impacts our immediate and critical needs such as health, economic development, public well-being, community cohesion, and more. Before Utah can begin its recovery, it's important to know what recovery is needed. It is in this spirit of unity that we collect and release the sobering data.

Here is the information to join the meeting.
