The Mayor of the Sheffield City Region has appointed a new director to help South Yorkshire\u2019s arts, culture and heritage sector recover from the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Dan Jarvis has tasked Kate Brindley with attracting investment, growing participation and increasing tourism opportunities.<\/p>\n

Kate Brindley said: \u201cI am delighted to be appointed as the project director of arts, culture and heritage at this critical and exciting time for the sector and South Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want the region to be a place where people flourish through participation in arts and culture, and that our fantastic story and offer is recognised across the country and the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Kate Brindley will support galleries, among other facilities in South Yorkshire’s arts, culture and heritage sector.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sheffield\u2019s theatres, museums, galleries and visitor attractions have faced a tough time, but the Mayor is determined to get them back on their feet.<\/p>\n

Mayor Dan Jarvis said: \u201cThe arts have the power to bring people together, something that is so desperately needed following months of social distancing and isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy uniting our cultural offer, we can put South Yorkshire back on to the national stage and attract millions of tourists a year to our region, giving our economy the boost and recognition it needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate is very experienced as she previously worked for the Arnolfini in Bristol, the Middleborough Institute of Modern Art, Bristol Museums and Chatsworth.<\/p>\n

This followed her childhood which she spent visiting the region\u2019s theatres, cinemas, music venues and art galleries.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cMy experience of South Yorkshire\u2019s rich cultural heritage fundamentally shaped who I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Yorkshire\u2019s arts and entertainment industry was not the only one to suffer, as it was one of the worst hit sectors by the pandemic nationally.<\/p>\n

It experienced a 44.5% drop<\/a> in monthly GDP output.<\/p>\n

70% of workers<\/a> in the sector were furloughed under the government\u2019s coronavirus retention scheme, which was the second highest after accommodation and food services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
