Monthly Roundup: April 2020

Fires and locusts and plagues! Oh my! Never mind the fact that the US government slipped in some footage of UFOs and absolutely no one batted an eye. 2020 is turning out to be one heck of a year. The big news this month was, of course, that festival season has been cancelled this year. Undoubtedly, that will cause some financial hardships for touring musicians and some severe withdrawal symptoms for festival-goers, but we suspect that we’ll be seeing some bold ingenuity in the weeks to come.

Here’s hoping for some silver linings. Check out everything we covered in April, 2020.

#SorryWereClosed2020

So, 2020 has come with some complications. And then some more complications. And then wildfires, locusts, a plague and some aliens. We’re all doing our best to adjust to the new normal and working hard to put food on our families but some adjustments take a little time.

Fortunately, the good folks over at Press Time have created the #SorryWereClosed2020 campaign.  They’ve created these wonderfully designed t-shirts for many small businesses as well as The East, and they are generously donating the profits towards keeping these small businesses (including us) afloat.

Also, we now get these sweet, limited edition t-shirts. We’re pretty excited about that too. Head on over to Press Time to pick up a t-shirt and support The East!

Patreon

Of course, our regular Patreon supporters deserve a big shout out. We the whole of the arts and culture industry facing some unique challenges, it’s you folks who are keeping the wheels on the bus right now. If you’d like to support our ongoing coverage of Atlantic Canadian arts and culture please visit www.patreon.com/TheEast.
