  • GC360: BRINGING THE PERFORMING ARTS TO A SOCIALLY-DISTANT AUDIENCE

    SEASON 2 - EPISODE 4 - On this episode of GC360 we are learning how schools in the Performing Arts industry have had to adjust their programs to appeal to a socially-distant audience.

New research by the Small Business Administration shows that “Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation” is now the sector of the economy with the highest percentage of “temporary closings”. How can we adapt and how do we keep the arts alive?
