THE Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy encourages creative economy practitioners to remain creative in their work and take advantage of creative opportunities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Deputy of Resources and Institutional Affairs of Tourism Ministry, Dr. Frans Teguh, MA said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, creative economic actors must continue to build hope, enthusiasm, and make this momentum to always be creative.
“The new normal era is not a limit to the productivity, creativity, and creativity of creative economy actors. “In the past few months there have been a lot of activities that have to be postponed, but the new normal era that we will live in welcomes us to realize our hopes and complete everything that has been planned,” Dr. Frans Teguh, MA said.
Dr. Frans Teguh, MA also explained that the art industry is very sustainable with the Ministry of Tourism to work together to produce quality tourism products and creative economy with competence with local strength and wisdom so that it can bring prosperity to the perpetrators.
The Virtual Talkshow Fun Talk Series (Fine Art) was held to help creative economic practitioners in the fine arts industry in meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conditions after the pandemic greatly impacted the fine arts industry such as the loss of exhibition venues, the closure of galleries and art shops, the reduction in orders for art works, and the cancellation of exhibitions.
“Creative economy players are required to rethink how to survive in a pandemic and look for the best efforts that must be made to remain productive and creative,” he said.
Meanwhile the Director of Creative Economy Human Resource Development, Muhammad Ricky Fauziyani, on the same occasion said, as creative economic actors, artists are required to increase their competence and creativity which will build a positive image in the eyes of the community.
The same was conveyed by the Curator of the Indonesian National Gallery and the Fine Art Lecturer at the Jakarta Art Institute, Citra Smara Dewi, who said an artist must have a positive self-image. This means making the potential for collectors or buyers even greater, because they see the work of artists who have indeed been tested for quality and competence.
Citra added, during the COVID-19 pandemic, art fields such as Educational Institutions could be creative, for example, creating content through video tutorials such as drawing done between lecturers and students. The content on that day usually only exists in the academic space and becomes a curriculum but in the pandemic period it can then be accessed by the public and bring wider benefits.
This Virtual Talkshow Fun Talk Series (Fine Art) is expected to be able to arouse the spirit of the creative economy actors especially the fine arts industry in the pandemic period to increase competence and identify potentials that can be developed to face challenges in the future.
