To Our Valued Patrons,
For over 49 years, Allied Arts has been committed to providing the best entertainment & service to our patrons. As we closely monitor the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, we are taking every precaution to ensure our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our patrons and staff. This guides each and every decision we make.
We have and will continue to follow the guidelines of our local health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO). As we stay current on this evolving situation, we want to assure you that the restaurants hosting our Eat for the Arts are taking the appropriate precautionary measures, such as:
Ensuring proper and rigorous cleaning and sanitization of shared surfaces and food preparation environments.
Ongoing staff training to enhance cleaning and disinfecting procedures to maintain a healthy environment for our guests and staff.
As always, instructing our staff to stay home if they are not feeling well.
Working closely with and adapting to the ongoing safety guidelines from our local health departments, CDC and WHO.
We will continue to respond and adapt as protocol changes to ensure the well-being of each other and our guests.
Colonial House Restaurant and Bar and Minervas Restaurant & Bar remain open and operational with appropriate measures to protect the health of the community. For our guests who are at home or at work, they are committed to serving you through their enhanced delivery & catering operations.
The Allied Arts thank you for your continuous support of the Arts and our local businesses during these trying times.
Sincerely,
The Allied Arts Family

The coronavirus has already had a devastating economic impact on America’s nonprofit arts sector—financial losses to date are estimated to be $3.2 billion. Since the first U.S. case was reported on January 20, cancellations and closings have been reported in thousands of communities spanning all 50 states. To support the sector at this vital time, request that your members of Congress include $4 billion—to be distributed through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)—to help offset the losses of the nonprofit arts industry, and expand eligibility through additional federal programs to ensure artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses in the creative economy can utilize business interruption relief.
In a national survey by Americans for the Arts, 91% of responding arts organizations indicated that they had canceled one or more events. Many arts organizations have closed their doors for months to come. More than one-third of respondents expect to make reductions in staff; 26% have already reduced their creative workforce. These estimates are based on more than 3,000 respondents to Americans for the Arts nationwide COVID-19 impact survey, and then further extrapolation of those data nationally using IRS data about nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. The survey is ongoing, and these figures will be updated regularly. Given that losses documented in the survey have occurred only in the last two months, Americans for the Arts anticipates additional billions in potential revenue losses for the nonprofit arts and culture field.
Join us in calling on Congress TODAY to designate a minimum of $4 billion—to be distributed through the National Endowment for the Arts—to help offset losses in the nonprofit arts industry and expand eligibility through additional federal programs to ensure artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses in the creative economy can utilize business interruption relief.

With your help and the support of US Bank, we were able to provide a grant through our Share-a-Seat program so that local students could participate in a cultural dance workshop with the Young Irelanders. The students performed those dances that night on stage at the Rapid City Concert Association event.
Thank you for making these opportunities possible for the children in our community. Find out more about our Share-a-Seat program here:
