All live performance events cancelled. No DJ/soundtech work - because no events or functions. No rehearsals during full lockdown.

Cancellation of a number of exhibitions this year. I just move to an online medium.

All theatre work for 2020 has been cancelled or is in doubt.

My associations have ceased to function however with assets comes liabilities. Fees and charges were not suspended during Covid - no income

ILT has no income, no funding or financial support and are bleeding out money in bills, charges and wages. We have no money in only outgoing

Competitions/exhibitions cancelled or online only. Solo exhibition postponed, limited visitor numbers, no opening events. Lost income.

Scheduled exhibitions/awards cancelled, postponed TBA, or forced online. F2F engagement & workshops cancelled or online. Practice disrupted.

Restrictions have affected the physical displaying of artwork and limited my professional abilities to engage with other artists.

1.Cultural tourism offer on hold/lost over a year of a business 2.Workshops on hold 3.No sells due to financial constrains

I am a live performance artist. All our contracts, events and performance engagements have been cancelled.

Being entirely centred around performing to a live audience - and a volunteer DIY operation - we chose to just close & not continue online.

Physical venues being unavailable it was an opportunity to stage an online visual exhibition . Continue working on new material.

Spending more time in the development of new work or larger scale projects.

As restrictions are lifted, we are moving to online concerts before resuming in person performance. We can’t afford Council facilities now.

Online promotion of art. Online professional development.

Scoping alternative opps & $. Attend online workshops/sector offerings. Improving biz/digital processes. Experimenting & creating new works.

Online work and sales enable local artists to remain engaged.

Will be looking at expanding and branching out art practice; also, will need to enhance digital presence and some digital services.

Using the time to train new skills, to explore new work, to create better business systems.

Financial assistance to pay the rent for the venue would be a start, then shows to limited covid-legal audiences would be more feasible.

Maybe we need to look at more public art space for presentations of work. The reliance on venues is our downfall.

More engagement in the professional arts sector and funding form ICC. Job creation in the professional industry.

Permission to resume rehearsals for a start. Then capital to pay the Covid bills period. Relief from fees and charges.

ICC needs to support me and others like me in booking us for local events and not bring in outside talent as has often been the case.

Tangible support eg: if venue must have low numbers, assistance with outgoing expenses such as royalties. Encourage emerging playwrites

Financial assistance- eg Urban Utilities still charging pedestalfees of $1,240. Waste and cleaning still req'd, live theatre-cant't have aud

Low cost exhibition space. Centralised arts hub for exhibitions, performances, professional development, networking, collaborations.

Digital support. Venue/exhibition support (like Studio188 but for visual arts). Indoor Artisan market opps. Collaboration & networking opps.

Tangible support from Council in support of local artists, both established and emerging.

Business support, creative development support, professional development support. Performance outcomes - events in the local area.
