Published: 7/29/2021 7:49:53 PM EASTHAMPTON Until Monday, Luthier’s Co-op was unable to operate its bar or host live music since COVID-19 restrictions went into place beginning in March 2020. The Cottage Street business continued offering its daytime music store business shortly after the state shutdown, but rent and utility expenses piled up with two major revenue sources gone. As a result of public health and safety regulations, many arts organizations and businesses faced similar struggles. This week, Luthier’s was one of several local businesses to receive a $134,398 Shuttered Venues Operation Grant (SVOG) to help with these expenses. Awarded by U.S. Small Business Administration, the grants are intended to assist businesses that rely heavily on activities that were prohibited or significantly limited by COVID-19 restrictions, such as live performance venues, movie theaters, museums and theatrical producers.
