RESEOFLASH

A Creative Reopening for the European Arts Sector

The last RESEO Flash newsletter took a look at how our members had been continuing to work with their communities in the particular circumstances of the past months.

As arts institutions begin to reopen across the world, many are now facing considerable challenges with regards to programming changes, cancellations, loss of income, touring, training and general uncertainty about the future. It is now more essential than ever to uphold culture in the EU budget and to work together to find creative responses to ensure the sustainability of the creative and cultural sectors across Europe.
