It takes no stretch of the imagination to understand how devastating the past year of pandemic shut downs and cancellations has been for performance and arts venues like theaters, concert halls and museums. Indeed, in most cities, performing arts have disappeared from the living cultural landscape. The venue operators that host the arts have been left struggling to keep from disappearing themselves.
Thanks to the work of numerous non-profit organizations, including the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra & Music School, additional relief is now available.
Locke Lord attorney, Karen Grande, who is also a board member of the Philharmonic, was approached by the Executive Director to draft an amendment to the Shuttered Venue Operator Grant (“SVOG”) Program to address the continuing struggle and to provide additional relief for the venues.
