Iran (IMNA) - The comprehensive plan to support artists during the Coronavirus outbreak is implemented by the Deputy Minister of Cultural sector and Isfahan Municipality Socio-Cultural and Sports Organization.
COVID-19 pandemic outburst in Isfahan has affected all plans in various sectors. Actually cultural and artistic events of Isfahan's cultural, social and sport department at the municipality, which were held with citizens' participation before the pandemic, have been postponed or moved to cyberspace. As a matter of fact, talented artists in Isfahan have been deeply affected in such prevailing conditions.
The economy of art and culture has been considered as a kind of abandoned economy in Iran and through the advent of the Corona pandemic, they have become even more desolate than before. This condition would be permanent if the responsible authorities ignore this fundamental matter. According to the government spokesman, one of the most affected occupations is the creative economy; an economy that suffers from abandonment and the lack of support.
Although the Coronavirus has behaved democratically in terms of infecting all walks of life, including the rich and the poor, it has acted strongly against the gentlest stratum of the society, namely artists, in the sense of economic consequences.
In this respect, the plan to support artists during the pandemic in six areas of visual arts, music, cinema, literature, theatre and other sectors aiming at promotion of artistic goals of Isfahan's cultural, social and sport department will be implemented.
