POSITION PAPER FROM THE XARXA DE CENTRES D'ART DE CATALUNYA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRISIS CAUSED BY COVID-19
With the crisis caused by COVID-19, the impact to the visual arts sector is, and will be, huge, with the additional complication that we have arrived here from previous circumstances of systemic and economic deficiency.
As Xarxa de Centres d’Arts Visuals de Catalunya, we remain aware that we must work harder than ever to help keep the visual arts sector active. This is why we are convinced that art centres must work hard to support our sector in each region, while at the same time coordinating with the actions undertaken by the Department of Culture of the Generalitat, and those of other organisations and associations in the sector, such as the Plataforma Assembleària d’Artistes de Catalunya, the Associació Catalana de Crítica d’Art, Xarxaprod, Actua Cultura, ArtBarcelona and the Gremi de Galeries d’Art de Catalunya (Guild of Art Galleries of Catalonia).
