When the city shut down, venues closed. People couldn’t congregate. Workers lost their jobs and with that went many artists’ commissions.
“We lost probably 75% of our regular income,” said Karesia Batan, dancer and director of the Queensboro Dance Festival. “That usually comes from sponsorships, online fundraising. People just didn t have the money to give us that they usu
