Musicians' Benefit COncerts

In March of 2020, the state was shut down as part of an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. During this time, unemployment rates for the arts skyrocketed to nearly 50%. At the end of the year, that rate was a steady 27% with theatres and music venues still closed.

This year at the Piqua Arts Council, we're taking on one of our biggest tasks yet by attempting to raise more than $100,000 to support the musicians of Miami and Montgomery Counties who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. In a series of 6 one-hour concerts videos, different regional bands will perform every week at 7pm. Each concert will represent a different genre of music that ranges from Beach Boys to country and into current hits and pop-punk music. The videos will air, one per week, starting April 30th on the Piqua Arts Council’s social media pages as well as on several partnering video stations, including Indian Nation Station and Piqua Channel 5.

There are many ways you can help support our local musicians. Become a Musicians’ Benefit Sponsor as an Executive Producer, Producer, Director or Cast Member and receive promotional opportunities ranging from a 2 hour private performance at your business by a local musician benefiting from the fund, to listings on our website, to your logo in the Piqua Arts Council Newsletter; or donate freely. All sponsorship dollars raised will go straight to musicians. Donate below!
