One Year Later - The Entertainment Industry Shutdown Costume Industry Coalition 2021-03-13 | On March 12th, 2020 the entertainment industry shutdown. It came to a screeching halt and all our businesses ceased operations. By May the Costume Industry Coalition began to organize and mobilize. Initially it included the costume makers in New York City but quickly we began to recognize our industry is an ecosystem that includes dressmakers, tailors, milliners, crafters along with embroiderers, pleaters, painters, shirt makers, printers, knitters, beaders, sculptors, plus specialty vendors, the last costume rental shop in the city and the dry cleaner to Broadway. Our over 500 costume artisans and experts are involved in every aspect of the costume industry, from concept to care. Since we started, we partnered with a Non-for-profit fiscal sponsor, The Artisans Guild of America, and began fundraising for our Recovery Fund. We also began lobbying the government to ensure the creative economy gets the relief it needs. A year later we are still recovering but we are ALL ready to get back to work. We’ve travelled a very long road and we know we still have a long way to go. But as the entire entertainment industry is poised to begin its recovery, the support we have received has fortified us with the strength to push forward. We can’t thank you enough.
