In accordance with the nationwide shutdown of places of social gathering, Belconnen Arts Centre is closed to the public, and all in-person activities scheduled to take place in the Centre will be postponed indefinitely. - We take our role in protecting the public from further spread of COVID-19 very seriously. We also take the livelihood of artists and the value of the arts to the community very seriously. Just because our doors are shutting does not mean we stop working on fuelling a love of and engagement in the arts. Like so many organisations, we are working on ways to keep connected and to support the industry we are all a part of. - We're all going to take a moment to breathe, readjust, and then focus on getting on with our mission. We really hope you'll join us, because when we work together as a community, we are capable of so much more. - Further updates will be available soon. - #belcoarts #canberra #belconnen #covid_19 #coronavirus #cbrarts #wearecbr #arts
