In December 2020, the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) West Michigan Chapter sponsored a conversation about the creativity and resilience of the nation’s arts communities as they navigated the challenges of COVID-19 on their organizations and programs. How are arts organizations handling the losses in exposure and revenue from the prohibition of live programs and what can the arts-loving public do to be supportive?
Our guest was Mary Tuuk, the president and CEO of the Grand Rapids Symphony. Mary engaged in a dialogue with Bruce Buursma of Bruce Buursma Communications. The informative conversation between these two Dutch Americans is full of insight and encouragement for arts organizations. Included is a robust q-and-a session with listeners.
