The Colony Sacramento

We miss this & YOU!!!!!!

This coming Tuesday (9/1) City Council will meet to discuss the next round of CARES Act funding for creative businesses and individuals. Currently, securing a portion of this funding is the best chance independent venues in Sacramento have to survive until we reopen well into next year. The good news is, you can help! If you are an artist who performs at venues, please let City Council know exactly why venues are crucial to your livelihood. Tell City Council how it will nega...tively affect your career if we go away permanently. If you are a music or comedy fan, you can also help us by sharing what our venues mean to you. Here’s how you can publicly comment: 1. Go to the online agenda for the meeting: https://sacramento.granicusideas.com//3776-5p/agenda_items 2. Click on item 7. 3. Share your story about why independent venues in town should be a priority in the allocation of CARES Act Relief Funding. 4. Click Submit Comment Submit your comment by Monday (8/31) to make sure it is received! We are incredibly grateful that we were considered for funding during the last round of allocations. But the truth is, it simply was not enough for us to survive until we reopen. Join the fight and help us #SaveOurStages. For more info, visit: CaCapitolVenueCoalition.org

We are proud to say that we are officially a part of the California Capitol Venue Coalition (@ccvc916).
