Senator Charles Schumer held a press conference to detail the benefits available to New York’s live venues and artists through the American Rescue Plan, including critical relief to struggling independent live venues, movie theaters, and cultural institutions, increased COBRA health insurance benefits, and additional federal relief for struggling New Yorkers, including gig workers and others in non-traditional employment.
Schumer voiced how this will artists and live venues, like Elsewhere, stay afloat throughout the pandemic. Schumer stayed that the Covid package that he negotiated, prioritizes the venues and everyone who supports them as the critical cultural hubs that they are.
