After more than a year of canceled, postponed, or reimagined performances, U.S. arts organizations, presenters, and agents have resumed programming and planning for the 2021-22 season, only to find the U.S. is not quite ready to open our borders for all international artists.

Describe what it takes to secure U.S. artist visas and navigate COVID-19 travel restrictions right now.

Return to the Stage: Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 on the Performing Arts Workforce

***This event has passed and the replay is now available.***

As presenters, agencies and touring companies seek to fill a growing number of vacant positions, there’s an emerging sense that the performing arts workforce and worker priorities have shifted during the pandemic.

Join APAP and the researchers behind Return to the Stage: A Performing Arts Workforce Study on Tuesday, September 14 at 3:00 p.m. (EDT) as we discuss the latest report on the state of the performing arts workforce, how it’s shifted and what this means for our field. Together with expert panelists, we’ll explore what the data reveals, hear about current responses in the field, and highlight what’s surfacing…and what may be next for our industry.
