Board reviews past Texas Music Office rebate and application window; Alpine received $15,000
Summary
The Chair said Alpine previously received $15,000 through a Texas Music Office venue tax-rebate program and that the application window opens annually from Sept. 1–30; she characterized the program as a rebate (not a grant) that can return a portion of drink taxes to qualifying small music venues.
The Chair told members the advisory board has previously received money through a Texas Music Office rebate program for qualifying small music venues. "We got 15,000," she said, and explained the program is a tax rebate rather than a grant; successful applicants may have drink taxes rebated up to roughly $50,000, she said. The board plans to reapply during the annual application window from Sept. 1–30.
Members described the application as detailed and sometimes returned for corrections on first submission; they encouraged local venues that host live music to explore eligibility criteria and consider applying for the rebate when the application period opens each September.
