Fwd: COVID-19 and workers in the arts and cultural sectors

Dear colleague,

Today, we launch an online survey to understand how Coronavirus
(COVID-19) is impacting on the arts and cultural sectors. If you are
working or studying in these areas, we invite you to share how the
current situation is affecting your work, livelihood, and wellbeing.

The survey is available at:

- Australia - https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bs9qhviUFYsrJiJ
- Canada - https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71zQl0IDIn5z5Rz
- New Zealand - https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0xPyLTxTOS0Svo9
- UK - https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3afY43j8pFhfwfb
- USA - https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2lNXOsQ87Tv9b0N

The survey is for you if you:

- currently live in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, or the USA

- work (in any role/capacity) in the areas of Crafts, Decorative Arts,
Literature, Music or Sound Arts, Performing Arts, and/or Visual Arts

- rely on part, or all, of your livelihood from work in the arts and
cultural sectors

- are 18 years old or over

The survey takes approximately 20-25 minutes and can be completed on a
computer, tablet, or smart phone. (Although, the best experience will
be on a computer or tablet.)

Please forward this invitation to colleagues, students (+alumni), and
your arts networks.

The study is being coordinated by the HEartS research team (Health,
Economic and Social impact of the ARTs,
https://performancescience.ac.uk/HEartS/), based at the Royal College
of Music and Imperial College London, in collaboration with leading
research teams worldwide.

If you live elsewhere and would like to take part, please contact the
HEartS team at hearts@rcm.ac.uk.

Thank you for your help.

With best wishes,
Aaron Williamon
