CREATIVE AND CULTURAL INDUSTRIES AND THE STATE OF ART OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE SECTORS IN TURKEY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious restrictions on the activities of some of the sub-sectors of the creative and cultural industries. The aim of this study is to examine the state of art of the arts and culture sectors, which are sub-sectors of creative and cultural industries, during the pandemic in Turkey. In this study, the public supports provided by the government and metropolitan municipalities and the supports of the professional associations, trade unions and civil society organizations to the arts and culture sectors, between March-September 2020, are examined through document analysis technique. The supports offered to the arts and culture sectors under the categories of cinema, television, theater, music and performative arts are analyzed regarding the following themes: Financial support, tax reduction or deferral, digital archive support, early ticket reservation, providing offline or online stages required for the artistic performance, proposing structural solution for the problems encountered during the pandemic. The findings of the research reveal that the arts and culture sector are not adequately supported by the government, while partly supported by the local authorities, professional associations and unions during the pandemic. However, they are not sufficient to influence the policymakers to provide adequate support.
