Recorded live: 2 September 2020

A Dialogue & Debate webinar exploring the important role of the arts in building social cohesion and providing a means through which people can share ideas and experiences, in a creative and accessible way.

We focus, in particular, on why the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been so damaging to the arts and entertainment sector, and how individuals, charities and the Government might help it to rebuild safely and sustainably.

This webinar was presented by Cumberland Lodge Chief Executive Canon Dr Edmund Newell. He was joined by guest panellists:

Jane Corry - Chief Executive and Artistic Director, Norden Farm Centre for the Arts

Jessica Jhundoo-Evans - Chair of Trustees, South Hill Park Arts Centre

James Potter - Director, Cathedral Singers of Christ Church
