A coalition headed by Americans for the Arts recently released the national Covid-19 Impact Survey for Artists and Creative Workers, which found 95 percent of artists have lost income, and 62 percent have become fully unemployed since the crisis began.

With this situation ever-evolving, ArtWorks and Wave Pool wants to understand better the needs of the artists in Greater Cincinnati. Join ArtWorks' Colleen Houston and Wave Pool's Calcagno Cullen for our upcoming Cincinnati Artist Conversations on Tuesday, June 9 and Thursday, June 11. We are interested in your thoughts and ideas around what our local artists need during this time.

These Artist Conversations are part of an extension of the recently published Cincinnati Artist Report (CAR), and ArtWorks and Wave Pool are inviting artists to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will help us better create the opportunities you need during this time. Please respond by Monday, June 8: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZFXL3ZG
