COVID Effect. Cost of Living Stipends for Artists.

What is happening? Ireland is considering cost of living stipends for artists.

Why is this important? The policy goal is to ensure that art (music, film, stage, visual, painters, sculptures, etc…) will continue to be produced through the pandemic.

How will this be important? The art sector of the Irish economy has been hit 5 times harder, but has provided art that has helped the country endure the pandemic.
