The impacts of COVID-19 on black, indigenous, artists and arts administrators of color in the U. S. (Special Issue: Arts and social justice.)

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the impacts of COVID-19 on Black, Indigenous, and artists and arts administrators of Color. We addressed the primary research question, in what ways has COVID-19 impacted BIPOC artists and arts administrators? We also answered the secondary research question, do differences in impacts exist in health and wellness for BIPOC artists and administrators based on demographic characteristics? By centering BIPOC artists and arts administrators in this study, we initiated an area of critical scholarly inquiry that explored the impacts of COVID-19 on creatives who identify as historically marginalized and oppressed based on their race in U. S. society.
