How to support arts and culture in the COVID-19 crisis

Within the the course module “Theories of Cultural Production and Organizations”, in the master programme of Arts Management at Lüneburg University, arts managers and artists from more than 15 different countries have gathered ideas about how each of us can help to support arts and cultural during the Corona-19 Crisis:

  • Do not return your paid ticket of events cancelled.

  • Visit donation platforms such as https://www.crowdify.net/ and support an art project of your choice.

  • Buy or invest in artistic and creative products offered online.

  • Buy mercandise directly from artists and museum shops.

  • Attend your online music and singing lectures.

  • Become a paying member of a cultural association.

  • Donate directly to artists and arts organizations when visiting virtual exhibitions, concerts, and performances.

  • Also streaming helps a little (!!)

  • Offer emotional support, “like” and “comment” on arts activities in social media.

The cultural scene will take advantage of this lockdown, renew and continue to produce, and then return to society with renewed vigor.
