Based on the findings of a 15-month study led by the Centre for Cultural Value, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the impacts of Covid-19 on the UK’s cultural sector. Based on a mixed-methods analysis, it highlights implications for the sector’s future direction and for research in the fields of arts management and cultural policy.
“The book is a testament to the expertise and collaborative spirit of its contributors. The diverse backgrounds of the authors allow for a rich, interdisciplinary approach that provides a comprehensive understanding of how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the U.K.’s creative sector. The authors explore the immediate and long-term effects of the pandemic on various cultural sub-sectors and the its broader implications. It is a scholarly yet accessible work that will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing discourse on cultural policy and management in a post-pandemic world.”
