SAVEMAStages is a collective of venue owners, music industry professionals, and diehard music fans working to ensure adequate funding reaches independent Massachusetts venues at risk of permanent closure due to the economic fallout from Covid-19.

These venues, which were the first businesses to close at the beginning of the pandemic and will be among the last to re-open, are pillars of their communities. Their cultural significance and local influence cannot be understated; live music promotes an environment of healing and emotional release for its listeners and ensures financial stability for performers.

On December 27, 2020, the Shuttered Venue Operators (SVO) Grant program, also known as the Save Our Stages Act, was signed into law. While SVO Grants will make about $15 billion available to shuttered venues, there is still much work to be done.

Following in NIVA’s (National Independent Venue Association) footsteps, this grassroots community organization is committed to uplifting and assisting Massachusetts venues during this unprecedented time.
