COVID-19 Artist Impact Survey Results
The survey asked four core questions regarding the early impact of COVID-19 on artists and their work. The data in this report is the result of content analysis of individual responses.
About the Artists
The survey received 1,005 responses with 73% from King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. More than 7% of responses came from Eastern Washington counties. Rural counties accounted for another 7% of responses. Artists from 31 of the state’s 39 counties responded.
A majority of responses were from visual and performing artists, who seemed to be the most impacted in the early stages of the pandemic due to the cancellation of events and closure of non-essential businesses. Multidisciplinary and film/media artists were the next most impacted.
