Historic Wieting Theatre
Sixty-one Midwestern arts and culture organizations received new COVID-19 relief grants on Nov. 30 from Arts Midwest through Phase 2 of the United States Regional Arts Resilience Fund.
Toledo’s Wieting Theatre was one of nine Iowa arts organizations to receive Resilience Fund support in the amount of a $20,000 grant.
The relief funding comes at a time when the Wieting Theatre has been temporarily closed since March 2020 while the COVID-19 pandemic has remained active.
With little opportunity to create revenue during the pandemic health crisis, non-profit arts organizations like the Wieting Theatre have faced challenges in keeping up with overhead costs as well as being able to invest and plan for a safe future return for their patrons.
