ABOUT RestART Initiative: The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has devastated the arts & culture community. From March 2020 through March 2021, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (Cultural Alliance) estimates a total revenue loss of $371.7 million for the arts and culture community in the Philadelphia region. Although the sector has been resilient in pivoting to virtual programming, there is uncertainty around the recovery of the community.

The RestART initiative was developed by the Cultural Alliance as a response to the current COVID-19 crisis. We know that the road ahead is long and uncertain, but we also know that together we will get through this. Through RestART, the Cultural Alliance will be working with 10 arts and culture organizations who were impacted the most by the crisis. The goal of this project is to bridge the gap between the concerns of audiences and the needs of arts and culture organizations to encourage broader participation in the Philadelphia arts and culture community.

The RestART Initiative is made possible by our local sponsor, PECO. PECO is committed to supporting a stronger workforce, ensuring energy empowerment in the community, strengthening enrichment through local vitality and providing equal access to arts and culture. To learn more about how PECO is powering the community, visit https://www.peco.com/SafetyCommunity/. Additional support is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
