LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ Globally, Covid-19 has affected us all, many in personal ways, yet the creative industry has been one the hardest hit. As I listened intently to the 2021 Creative Economy Report presented by Otis College of Art & Design, I couldn’t help being blind-sided by the tremendous financial impact the pandemic had on Arts related industries in California alone. Having previously served on the Board of Governors of Otis, I am continuously proud of the contribution this Fine Arts Institution makes, providing valuable statistics and insight used in state legislature. Unlike the previous decade of growth, there was a staggering “$140.6 billion dollar loss from the total Creative Economy output for 2020”. Notably, with the film industry, Los Angeles County counts for more than half of the state’s figure with a $78.9 billion loss.

ORANGE COUNTY, CA It s time to grieve, artist Marcos Lutyens explains.
It started with just a few handmade, red felt roses, but the Rose River Memorial has now grown to signify the thousands who have died in the coronavirus pandemic.
Each rose represents a life, a loved one lost to coronavirus on Los Angeles Westside. Each rose symbolizes a memory and tribute behind a heartbreaking loss.
