At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment among arts and culture workers was well over 50% according to the National Endowment for the Arts. The arts and culture sector contributes nearly $1 trillion to the nation’s GDP and employs more than 5 million workers. In Washington State in 2019, the arts and culture sector represented 8% of the state’s GDP and employed 3.5 million workers according to Americans for the Arts.

Together, we can keep our communities safe and return to the arts and culture organizations we know and love. Get vaccinated and get back to life!
