WESTAF COVID-19 Tali<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Since March, WESTAF has tracked the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the arts field in the West as well as related policy and funding developments, sharing this information with arts service organizations and arts funders in the West and nationally as we formulate ways to provide relief to the field. WESTAF continues to revise the COVID-19 <\/span>Update<\/a> and <\/span> Punaoa<\/a> <\/span>web pages on our website, and a <\/span>presentation\/briefing<\/a> <\/span>is updated weekly, providing deeper insights on state-by-state responses to the impact of COVID-19 on the creative sector. Nearly 800 responses were received for the WESTAF COVID-19 Arts Impact Survey, and final survey findings show <\/span>that artists, arts nonprofits, and creative businesses (like design firms, galleries, and photography studios) are facing significant financial challenges from the COVID crisis with limited levels of savings or reserves. Conditions for artists and organizations may worsen as these savings and reserves are depleted. The survey also presents encouraging data that shows that arts nonprofits and creative businesses are by-and-large protecting jobs by avoiding layoffs, but it is unclear how long this protection can be sustained. <\/span>A full survey report is forthcoming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/b>reative Vitality\u2122 List of 30 Most Creative Small Cities in America<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

On April 29, CVSuite\u2122 released its list of <\/span>The 30 Most Creative Small Cities in America<\/a><\/span>. <\/span>The list is the first in WESTAF’s new series of data-driven profiles celebrating the arts, culture, and creativity of America’s most vital and vibrant places and spaces. WESTAF’s <\/span>Creative Vitality Lists<\/a> <\/span>offer a snapshot of various trends within neighborhoods, regions, and states to highlight creative vitality in communities across the United States. Using data from WESTAF’s <\/span>CVSuite<\/a><\/span> creative economy data tool, the <\/span>Creative Vitality\u2122 Index<\/a> <\/span>(CVI\u2122) was utilized to measure and rank the creative economies of Metropolitan Statistical Areas with populations under 500,000. The CVI is a statistical metric of creative activity per capita within a region. The Index includes data sources from the nonprofit and for-profit arts sectors with indicators in creative occupations, nonprofit revenues, and creative industry sales. See the full release <\/span>iinei<\/a><\/span>. The CVSuite team is currently working on a second list, which will be released in the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n
