Unemployment in the arts next year is likely to be far higher than in the rest of the economy, and without a co-ordinated plan a quarter of all arts jobs could be lost by the end of 2021, new research shows. Publishing an update of an Employment and Economic Impact Assessment by global consultants EY, the Arts Council said the arts could act as a ‘civic force field’ during the crisis and should be at the heart of Ireland’s recovery strategy. The state agency for funding and developing the arts said it remained committed to protecting jobs and livelihoods across the sector to ensure sorely needed access to the arts for the public in 2021 and beyond. “The Arts Council received significant additional funding from the Government in 2020 to help alleviate the impact of the crisis on artists and arts organisations, and we are putting all of those extra resources to good use. In our pre-Budget submission we have requested €135 million for 2021, and this report demonstrates just how urgently this support is required,” said Arts Council Chair Prof. Kevin Rafter. Arts Council Director Maureen Kennelly said the agency was focused on achieving the best outcomes for the arts in 2021 and beyond. “The arts sector is facing extraordinary challenges with remarkable strength, solidarity and resilience,” she said. “We will continue to work with the Department of Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht, and on Minister Catherine Martin’s Cultural Recovery Task Force, to make sure that the arts play a full part in our national recovery.” The report calls for detailed planning to tailor to the often disparate needs and difficulties of artists and arts organisations, and co-ordination with the wider creative industries sector in an ambitious approach to recovery. The core arts sector will lose 16 percent of its jobs this year, compared to 10 percent in the economy as a whole, the report says, warning also that if the scale of the recession in the arts pushes organisations into bankruptcy they will not be there to lead a recovery. The update report uses new information since the early summer; the Living with Covid roadmap; and the likely timeline of the longevity of the Covid 19 crisis into late 2021. Yannick Cabrol, Assistant Director at EY commented: “The Arts and Entertainment sectors will be hit harder and for longer than any other part of the economy by this pandemic. During the second quarter of this year it was the most impacted sector in Ireland with a 67.7 percent decline in GDP, ten times more than the rest of the economy. Recovery could take years with organisations closed down, artists discouraged, festivals cancelled and people worried about attending indoor events. The Arts is not only vital for our economy, but its development is at the heart of Project Ireland 2040 aspirations to build a more sustainable and resilient economic model. With a higher focus on indigenous SMEs rather than big multinational companies, it is a job-intensive sector contributing to a balanced regional development and our quality of life.” The updated analysis includes the following key facts: • Arts sector workers have been impacted severely by COVID-19. Some 58 percent of total arts sector employees were in receipt of the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme or the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (as of 24 August 2020). • In 2020, the recession in the arts sector will be around -55 percent compared with -11 percent in the Irish economy as a whole. During Q2 2020, according to the latest CSO data, economic activity in the arts sector in Ireland fell by 67 percent. • In 2021, the recession in the Arts sector could be between -18 and -43 percent, depending on the evolution of the pandemic and the level of sanitary restrictions. This compares with +6.6 percent for the rest of the economy, according to the latest EY ‘Economic Eye’ forecast. • In 2020, the decrease in the number of jobs supported by the core arts sector is projected to be around -15.5 percent, putting around 1,600 arts jobs at risk compared with a 9.7 percent decline for the rest of the economy. • This situation could get worse in 2021 depending on the economic and sanitary crisis. Without mitigating measures, the year-on-year impact on employment could be between -5 and -13 percent for the arts sector compared with +4.5% for the rest of the economy. • From 2019 to 2021, between 2,000 and 2,700 arts jobs could be lost in Ireland as a result of COVID-19. This would represent roughly a quarter of the Arts workforce in Ireland. The report says that the recovery of the arts sector may take until 2025 if nothing is done, with far-reaching and damaging consequences in terms of jobs, tourism attractiveness and balanced regional development throughout Ireland. It calls for a an ambitious plan to support the creative industries, aligned and integrated with the wider government approach including that outlined in its Economic Considerations for Reinstating Economic Activity document.

Life Worth Living Ar an 17 Samhain 2020, chuir an tAire Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus Meán, Catherine Martin, T.D. fáilte roimh fhoilsiú Life Worth Living, Tuarascáil an Tascfhórsa um Athshlánú Ealaíon agus Cultúir. Glactar go forleathan leis gur mó a chuir tionchar COVID-19 isteach ar earnáil na nEalaíon/an Chultúir le hais aon earnáil eile, agus mairfidh an tionchar sin níos faide chomh maith. Cuireadh stop le beagnach gach beart in iomaí cuid den earnáil agus de réir cosúlachta fágfar iad go dtí an deireadh sula gcuirfear tús arís leo. Tá roinnt moltaí déanta ag an Tascfhórsa chun go mbeidh sé ar chumas na hearnála seo teacht tríd seo go dtí go n-osclaítear arís í. Áirítear air seo, mar a bheidh an earnáil ábalta ealaíontóirí agus an lucht oibre cruthaitheacha, teicniúil, léirithe agus tacaíochta níos leithe a choimeád, chun go mbeidh imeachtaí ealaíon, cultúir agus siamsaíochta ar fáil a mbeidh lucht spéise in Éirinn agus cuairteoirí ó thar lear ábalta sult a bhaint astu nuair a bheidh cúrsaí níos fearr. Áirítear ar mholtaí na tuarascála Is Breá a Bheith Beo: - ioncam, cánachas agus bearta soláthair airgeadais; - oideachas agus tacaíochtaí oiliúna; - tacaíochtaí teicneolaíochta; - tacaíochtaí ar mhaithe le meabhairshláinte; - bearta coimirce sóisialaí; - bearta cóipchirte. Is féidir an tuarascáil a fheiceáil anseo. Is féidir leat tuilleadh a léamh faoin bhfógra maidir le foilsiú na tuarascála anseo. Survive, Adapt, Renew Survive, Adapt, Renew, tuarascáil ón nGrúpa Comhairleach speisialta a bunaíodh chun bealaí ina mbeidh earnáil na n-ealaíon in ann dul i ngleic le Géarchéim Covid-19 a shainaithint, a foilsíodh i Meitheamh 2020. Déantar roinnt príomh-mholtaí sa tuairisc chun tacú leis na healaíona i rith ghéarchéim Covid-19, agus i ndiaidh athbhreithniú a dhéanamh orthu sin, gheall an Chomhairle Ealaíon an méid seo a leanas: tús áite a thabhairt do mhaoiniú breise chun scéimeanna coimisiúnaithe a fheabhsú agus scéimeanna sparánachta agus scéimeanna forbartha gairmiúla a mhéadú. go n-oibreoidh an Chomhairle le hearnáil na n-ealaíon chun dul i ngleic le dúshláin a bhaineann leis an scaipeadh ar líne, le spásanna fisiciúla atá ann cheana féin a oiriúnú agus spásanna nua a fhiosrú. go n-oibreoidh an Chomhairle chun iontaoibh an phobail chun freastal ar imeachtaí beo a thógáil an athuair. Tá an tuarascáil ón nGrúpa Comhairleach ar fáil le híoslódáilanseo. Tuarascáil EY ar Mheasúnacht Tionchair Fostaíochta agus Gheilleagraigh COVID-19 ar Earnáil na nEalaíon in Éirinn I Meitheamh 2020, foilsíodh staidéar ar na tionchair gheilleagracha a bheidh ag COVID-19 ar earnáil na n-ealaíon in Éirinn, a choimisiúnaigh an Chomhairle Ealaíon. I measc na dtorthaí a sonraíodh inti, léiríodh go beidh an cúlú eacnamaíocht in earnáil na n-ealaíon in 2020 idir -34.6% agus -42% i gcomparáid le -11% i ngeilleagar na hÉireann ar an iomlán. Tuartar go mbeidh costas idir €250 milliún agus €300 milliún le haghaidh OTI na hÉireann leis sin. Tá an tuarascáil iomlán le fáil anseo. Foilsíodh nuashonrú ar an tuarascáil seo i Meán Fómhair 2020 agus léiríodh ann gur dóchúil go mbeidh an dífhostaíocht sna healaíona i bhfad níos airde an bhliain seo chugainn ná mar a bheidh sí sa chuid eile den gheilleagar, agus in éagmais plean comhordaithe seans go gcaillfear aon cheathrú de na poist ar fad sna healaíona faoi dheireadh 2021. Dúirt an Chomhairle Ealaíon, agus nuashonrú de Mheasúnacht Tionchair Fostaíochta agus Gheilleagraigh a rinne an chuideachta sainchomhairleoireachta dhomhanda EY á fhoilsiú, go bhféadfadh na healaíona feidhmiú mar ‘réimse fórsa saoránaigh’ i rith na géarchéime agus gur cheart go mbeidís ag croílár straitéis téarnaimh na hÉireann. Is féidir an tuarascáil iomlán a íoslódáil anseo. Na hEalaíona le linn na Dianghlasála - Taighde ar Mheon an Phobail Rinne an gnólacht tacaíochta margaíochta Behaviour and Attitudes taighde thar ceann na Comhairle Ealaíon i dtús Mheitheamh 2020 chun meon an phobail a fháil amach maidir le freastal ar imeachtaí beo agus bearta maolaithe. Cumhdaíodh rannpháirtíocht i ngníomhaíocht ealaíon sa taighde freisin agus tuairimí maidir le bheith ag íoc ar na healaíona ar líne. Is féidir an tuarascáil taighde a íoslódáil anseo. Is féidir breathnú ar fhíseán de chur i láthair a rinne John O’Mahony ó Behaviours & Attitudes ar an taighde anseo. Arts in lockdown research from Arts Council on Vimeo.
