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

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.
