Virtual feature of the creativity

BE BRILLIANT

Project

The creative sector is one of the most influenced by the current COVID19 pandemic because of the unexpected and
substantial loss of income, particularly for the weakest players. A few entities profit by open help (e.g. public museums,
libraries, theatres) yet may encounter huge spending shortages. This sector incorporates major worldwide entities with
stable economical incomes, yet numerous little organizations and independent amateurs and professionals fundamental for
the sector could face serious economic loss if not bankruptcy. This crisis creates a structural threat to the survival of many
firms and workers in cultural and creative production. The venue-based parties (such as museums, performing arts, live
music, festivals, cinema, etc.) are the hardest hit by social distancing measures. The sudden drop in incomes puts their
monetary maintainability in danger and has brought about diminished pay profit and lay-offs with repercussions for the worth
chain of their providers, from creative and non-creative sectors the same. Some cultural and creative sectors, such as online
content platforms, have benefitted from the expanded interest for cultural content streaming during the lockdown, however,
the advantages from this additional interest have generally gathered to the biggest firms in the business.

Cultural and creative sectors are to a great extent made out of miniature firms, non-profit organizations and creative professionals,
frequently working on the edges of monetary maintainability. Leaving behind the weaker part of the sector could cause
irremediable financial and social harm. The current challenge is to plan public backings that ease the adverse
consequences for the time being and help recognize new open doors in the medium term for various public, private and nonprofit
actors engaged in cultural and creative production.
