Evaluation of Coventry Creates 2020
During spring 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold, the University of Warwick and Coventry University Partnership recognised that the cultural industries faced venue closures, job loss and funding withdrawal.
In response to the anticipated damage to the cultural industries, the University Partnership designed and funded a new project to support both local artists and university researchers, bringing new perspectives and new audiences to academic work.
Coventry Creates financially supported artists during the early stages of the pandemic, with the scheme funding work for those in the stricken cultural sector. Coventry Creates projects encouraged participants to approach their art and research in different ways, including developing new collaborative ways of working.
