US Congress Approves $15bn for Arts Venues

December 23 2020

The US Congress has approved a $15bn stimulus package for arts venues a few days ago. This is part of a wider $900bn stimulus package which will benefit the entire nation's economy.

It seems that museums and art galleries will be also be eligible for this support. Earlier this year many US regional museums and galleries had explained that many might face closure if support was not forthcoming in the face of lockdowns. Organisations will have to show that they have lost at least 25% of their income to qualify. Those who have lost 90% of income are said to be first in line.
