Artists and arts organizations have been enormously impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Museums, theaters, and venues have all closed.

Many independent artists have lost money because of the coronavirus, and are in need of financial relief

Yet, many are still creating, and organizations are doing all they can to stay afloat. We take stock of how cultural organizations and independent artists are faring with:

Anita Walker, executive director of the Mass Cultural Council.

Photographer OJ Slaughter, whose work you can view or buy here. They will also kick off WBUR's The Artery's Living Room Livestream this Friday.

Eric Bornstein, a mask-maker and puppet-maker based in Somerville. You can view or purchase his work here.
