April 20 2021 Art and entertainment facilities across the state are at risk of closing forever without relaxed COVID-19 restrictions.
Live art and entertainment venues in Oregon were among the first operations to close when COVID-19 hit last March. They are now among the last scheduled to reopen, and many fear they will not survive unless Gov. Kate Brown eases her pandemic restrictions on them soon.
In the metropolitan area, they range from such large performance spaces as Revolution Hall in Southeast Portland to the intimate Old Church in downtown. Owners and operators increasingly believe venues should be allowed to open at full capacity with precautions shortly after all state residents 16 and over have the opportunity to be fully vaccinated, provided that hospitalizations remain relatively low.
