May 27, 2021 - SACRAMENTO, CA – The California State Senate on Wednesday passed a bill by Senator Susan Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) that is desperately needed to save small community performing arts organizations from disappearing and help them continue their important work as social justice vehicles for marginalized voices.

Senate Bill 805, “Save The Performing Arts Act of 2021,” creates a program that will offer vital funding for small non-profit performing arts organizations to help them recover from the devastating impacts caused by the pandemic, as well as help them comply with AB 5.  The funding, slated specifically for pay for artists and production workers, will be distributed in the form of grants based on the organization’s size (i.e. smaller organizations get larger grants).  There will be a maximum revenue cap for eligible organizations. This funding will apply to all performing arts industry, including theaters, operas, and symphonies. It will also create a low-cost payroll services to nonprofit performing arts organizations.

“These small theaters are the starting point for emerging voices and artists, especially in marginalized communities, so I want to thank the California State Senate for passing this bill,” Senator Rubio said. “I also want to thank all the amazing artists who are part of the SB 805 Coalition. They have worked tirelessly, and remained committed to worker protections as we found a path to move this bill forward. Our work is not done, and their enthusiasm and determination will be essential as we continue through the legislative process.” 

[Hollywood stars, including Edward James Olmos, Danny Glover, Josefina Lopez, theater workers and directors recently rallied in support of the bill. See recording here - https://www.facebook.com/SB805ca/videos/849335728994416]
