Arts venues illuminated red to represent plight of creative industries

Hundreds of arts venues across the UK have been lit up red in a show of solidarity with the ailing creative industries. London landmarks including the Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, Southbank Centre and Waterloo Bridge were illuminated to symbolise the sector going into “red alert” amid the coronavirus pandemic. The action, titled Throw Us A Line, also saw workers from the creative industries line up along the River Thames’ banks and bridges.
