Governor Hogan Announces $10 Million in Relief for Live Entertainment Venues<\/strong><\/p>\n

ANNAPOLIS, MD<\/strong> (June 16, 2021) – Governor Larry Hogan today announced the recipients of 65 awards totaling $10 million for live music and performance venues and live entertainment promoters affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This relief funding is in addition to the\u00a0$30 million allocated earlier this year<\/a>\u00a0to music and entertainment venues as part of the State of Maryland\u2019s economic recovery plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to move forward in our recovery, I am proud to announce more support for these entertainment businesses and venues as part of our Maryland Strong Economic Recovery Initiative,\u201d said Governor Hogan. \u201cThese awards protect jobs and preserve important cultural institutions in Maryland communities ready to get back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, awards will be distributed to live venues that closed or cancelled events and performances due to capacity limitations in response to the pandemic, and for which any previous state or federal assistance was not sufficient to cover the live entertainment venue or promoter\u2019s expenses due to the event\u2019s size or venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a critical recovery resource to help these businesses as they ramp back up their operations,\u201d said Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Kenneth C. Holt. \u201cWhen we can provide quick and direct assistance, we are not solely helping these businesses, we are strengthening the whole community. \u201d<\/p>\n

In total, 49 live entertainment venues and 14 promoters from 12 counties and Baltimore City will receive the funding. Venues include Rams Head Live (Baltimore City), Delmarva Shorebirds (Wicomico County), Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (Baltimore City), Cumberland Theatre (Allegany County), Merriweather Post Pavilion (Howard County), Olney Theatre Corporation (Montgomery County), and Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre (Frederick County).\u00a0 View the list of awardees.<\/a><\/p>\n
