The total financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nonprofit arts and cultural organizations is now estimated at $43 million with 5,377 arts and cultural jobs affected, based on aggregate data from the monthly COVID-19 Survey of Impact on Miami-Dade County's Cultural Community, conducted by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs.

Dear Colleagues,
This week, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez authorized the limited re-opening of parts of the County’s economy. I am proud to report that Mayor Gimenez has included a section of strict guidelines for Arts & Culture – only permitting the opening of museums and public gardens, if and when they are ready.
