Local music, event venues receive millions in federal funding “We use our shows as a way to bring people together.” Federal funding helps shuttered venues ROANOKE, Va. – The seats and stage at 5 Points Music Sanctuary that sat empty for months are full once again. Like other music and event venues across the country, founder and director Tyler Godsey said 5 Points was hit hard by COVID-19 closures. “The entertainment industry was one of the last ones to really get the focus in terms of subsidies and funding for helping us to recover,” said Godsey. But help has finally arrived. The Small Business Administration just released data on local grants awarded through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program. Millions of dollars have gone to event venues across Central and Southwest Virginia.

Whatever Happened To: Nonprofit music venues work to move forward in pandemic

Two Roanoke nonprofit music venues were starting to peak in early 2020. Growing crowds full of folks who trusted the lineups’ quality at 5 Points Music Sanctuary and The Spot on Kirk had the rooms’ organizers feeling good about their prospects for the year. March portended artistic and audience bonanzas at both places. Everyone knows what happened next. But both venues are going, and the people who run them remain hopeful that they’ll open their doors once a post-COVID society returns to a revised normal. “Really, I’m winging it,” said Tyler Godsey of 5 Points Music Sanctuary. “I’ve been doing that since I opened the building, so I’m comfortable. If anybody had any clue how tough it was the first two, three years, they would think this year would be a cakewalk for me.”
