When Covid-19 forced the arts sector to shutdown in March, 2020, the financial impact was devastating. More than 18 months into the pandemic, with cases on the upswing, most presenters are wondering when--and if--things will ever stabilize.

Pacific Northwest Ballet Executive Director Ellen Walker and Michael Greer, President and CEO of Seattle-based Arts Fund, talk to hosts Vivian Phillips and Marcie Sillman.
