After almost a year of fighting for Indiana’s venues in need during the pandemic, IIVA knows that no small act goes unnoticed. With COVID-19 threatening the livelihood of many beloved venues across the state, members know firsthand about the small acts of kindness that helped them stay afloat so far. Donations from fans and music lovers across the state have directly impacted the health of our venues over the past 10 months of the pandemic, and as an alliance, they want to give back to their communities.

If you are unable to make it to one of the participating venues, or would like to assist in the donations, please reach out to karah@indianavenuealliance.org.
