Shuttered Venue Grant Applications Open

The U.S. Small Business Administration has opened the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant application portal for operators of venues, live performing arts organizations, museums and movie theatres. The SBA says $16.2 billion will be available for venues as they try to stay afloat. The venues, including many throughout Indiana, are some of the first that were forced to shutter their doors last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
