The state of New Hampshire is offering $12 million in pandemic relief funds to live arts venues statewide, reports nhpr.
The large sum will be coming from NH’s share of the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Program.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the state’s entertainment industry has suffered, leading to many venues cancelling or postponing shows, or attempting to run events at a limited capacity.
Governor Chris Sununu stated that live venues are the “lifeblood of many communities.” He continued to comment that losing these art centers could have a “negative ripple effect” for years to come.
