The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts says the first tranche of 348 cheques for the Cultural Relief Grant is now ready for artistes and creatives.

Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, Senator Randall Mitchell, presented one of the first cheque of $5,000 to Singing Sonia at the Lord Kitchener Auditorium of the National Academy for the Performing Arts on Tuesday.

Minister Mitchell said COVID-19 has severely affected the tourism and cultural industries both locally and internationally.

He added several Carnivals, sporting activities and traditional tourist attractions have had to temporarily halt operations. He said this calls for a complete re-engineering of how business is done as we adapt to the new normal.

Singing Sonia expressed gratitude to the Government for its vision and foresight in providing assistance to artistes in Trinidad and Tobago.
