Federal Grant Lifts VT Live Venues

Fifty-Nine small businesses involved in the

performing arts throughout 36 Vermont cities

and towns have received more than $18.7

million in federal grants as of Aug. 3.

“We were thrilled to learn that we were

among the many worthy venues in our home

state of Vermont and across the nation who

were awarded a Shuttered Venues Operators

Grant. This infusion of funding will further

stabilize our organization as we continue to

navigate the pandemic and plan to resume inperson

operations as soon as it is safe to do so

for our audiences,” said Alissa Mello,

Managing Director of Sandglass Theater in

Putney. Sandglass Theater, which started in

1982 is a 60-seat theater specializing in puppetry.

The SVOG Program is overseen by the

Small Business Administration and its purpose

is to provide emergency grants to eligible

live venues affected by COVID-19. More

than $16.2 billion was appropriated for grants

via the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small

Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act and

the American Rescue Plan Act. Eligible applicants

could qualify for grants equal to 45% of

their gross earned revenue up to a maximum

amount of $10 million for a single grant.

The average SVOG award in Vermont was

$320,000. The lowest was $3,294 and highest

was $2,257,489. Eligible small businesses

included theater companies, movie theaters,

talent representatives, promoters and museums.

“What impressed me the most is the number

of small venues in rural towns that

received awards. We knew the more notable

venues in Chittenden and Washington

Counties would apply and most likely receive

funding, but to see the number of grants

awarded to ones in Windham and Caledonia

counties is particularly gratifying because

they too needed access to this capital,” said

Darcy Carter, SBA Vermont District Director.

The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant

emergency assistance was vital because live

venues were the first to shutter during the

Royalton Community Radio’s

8th Annual Pedal Power to the People

Free Vermont Radio/WFVR-LP will host

its “8th Annual Pedal Power to the People”

gravel grinder biking benefit on to

dates this year: Saturday, August 21st from

Antique Hill at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds

and Sunday, September 12th from The Green

in South Royalton. These unique backroads

rides have become a significant fundraiser for

Royalton Community Radio over the years.

This all volunteer, non-commercial community

station has been providing unique niche

programming to its listeners since March of

2013 ... both on the “dial” locally at 96.5FM

and online at www.wfvr.org.

The rides for August 21st are twofold with

the shorter “Milk Run” at about 15 miles in

length cycling through sections of Tunbridge

halls of New England and beyond” and also

“entrancing concert audiences” for well over

two decades. The Turning Stile, featuring

pandemic such as the Fairbanks Museum &

Planetarium in St. Johnsbury.

“Although the entire organization was

affected by the pandemic, the planetarium

was really hard hit. We did not reopen it until

this past June, so it was closed for 15 months.

The funds will allow us to upgrade both the

equipment and programming in the planetarium,

such that we’ll be able to get back to the

previous level of programming, and hopefully

beyond, much quicker than we could have

otherwise,” said Adam Kane executive director

of the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium.

SVOG funds could be used for a variety of

expenses including payroll, rent, mortgage,

utilities, taxes, insurance, and refunding ticket

holders for events canceled in 2020 due to

the pandemic.

“I referred to the SVOG as our salvation in

board meetings going back months. We certainly

met the grant criteria, but it wasn’t until

the award notice came through that we knew

that we had a safety net moving into the

future. The grant provides much-needed operational

funding that will make up for some of

the lost income we’ve seen since March 2020

and it will see us through 2021,” said Dan

Casey, Director of the Barre Opera House.

The program’s roots stem directly from

Vermont. It was Rep. Peter Welch who introduced

the original bill, The Save Our Stages

Act, in July 2020 and later became the

Shuttered Venue Operators Grant.

In a joint statement recently released by

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, U.S. Sen. Patrick

Leahy and Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont

Congregational Delegation said, “Our independent

live music and entertainment venues

not only bring joy and energy to our downtowns

and communities, they are economic

engines that help make Vermont such a special

place to live and visit.”

The SVOG portal remains open and funding

is still available for all eligible applicants.

and Roytalton, and the “Beer Run” which

will offer a strenuous opportunity to cross

over eight different covered bridges scattered

through the towns of Tunbridge, Chelsea

and East Randolph. Clocking in at nearly 38

miles, the Beer Run is designed for the seriously

“hoppy” gravel grinder cyclist. Both

rides conclude at the fairgrounds with free

admission for the 1st 50 registrants to the

NanoFest Beer Festival which runs from noon

- 6PM, featuring eleven different small Vermont

breweries, food trucks and three bands

from the WFVR mobile stage. E-bike registrants

are welcome this year.

on both ride dates can be found at wfvr.org or
