How will these times affect your art?

Those of you who do art for a living have many different kinds of jobs, such as art teachers, animators, game designers, gallery painters, illustrators, comic artists, and plein-air painters.

Gallery opening, before the asteroid hit. Governor Cuomo's new rules eliminate (at least for the next few months)
all non-essential travel, non-essential business, and large gatherings, even if they used social distancing
I'm wondering if you can share in the comments how you expect these current conditions are going to change your art and how you make it, temporarily or permanently. For example,

  • Are there conventions, gatherings, group dinners, or other social encounters that you really need to do for your art business?
  • What can't you do any more (at least for the next weeks or months) that used to be routine?
  • If you work for a studio (such as animation, VFX, or game design), how has working remotely affected what you create? Does collaborating virtually makes some things harder and other things easier?
  • Teachers: what happens to your workshops, your classes, your students, and your school? 
  • If you've already been teaching online, how has your work volume changed?
  • What new skills will you rapidly need to acquire? Do you face losing a job or will you have to let someone go?
  • Is your access to subject matter affected by travel restrictions?  
  • Which markets will likely be closing for you, and which might be opening?
  • Lastly, there are surely some positives and opportunities here for some. I notice some popular musicians such as Chris Martin and John Legend have made up for cancelled concert shows by recording live YouTube videos with the #TogetherAtHome hashtag. Can anyone share their grounds for guarded optimism?
