This week has seen some galleries reopen (albeit with reduced numbers and scheduled attendance) with others to follow this month — but it's going to be a while until we get back into theatres, and even longer until we can contemplate sweaty, shouty live music gigs.
In the meantime: there is plenty of theatre, comedy, dance, writer's talks and all that jazz to be found online.
This guide focuses on Australian content, with occasional international gems thrown in too.
There will be a genuine world-premiere, live streaming arts, streams from the archive, on-demand dates, bite-sized bits of content from Australian artists, galleries and theatre companies, and recommendations for the best 'virtual' exhibitions.
