The need to analyse the implications of the COVID-19 crisis for the cultural sector calls for an urgent diagnosis. The COVID-19 crisis comes at a historic moment when the effects of the previous financial crisis in 2008 are still being felt. In order to study the impact of COVID-19 on the CC, we have carried out a telematic survey of cultural and creative agents, using the oil-tape sample procedure, with a sample of 410 respondents. The results indicate that the size of organizations and the ability to digitize their activity have been key variables in determining the impact, leading to an increase in teleworking where it has been possible to minimize activity in response, highlighting the increase in precariousness, digital consumption and the emergence of new business models in the cultural sectors as future trends.
