– Arts Center announces changes in hours, prorgams

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Arts Center, Director, Mindi Schmitz says, the Arts Center is making ongoing and fluid changes to its classes and performance schedule due to the concerns over the coronavirus.

The center’s main goal is public safety and the health and well-being of patrons, artists and staff.

During the month of March operating hours at The Arts Center will be intermittent. People should consider calling ahead at 251-2496 or emailing prior to coming in. The Arts Center will keep the gallery open as staffing allows.

The Arts After School program has been canceled for the week of March 16-20. The program follows the Jamestown Public Schools schedule. If the public schools remain closed the Arts After School program will remain closed as well.

The Back Porch Band concert scheduled for March 20 has been postponed.

All events related to the World of Music by Todd Green have been canceled. This includes:

Tuesday, March 24: Roosevelt Elementary

Thursday, March 26: Ave Maria Village and Heritage Centre

Saturday, March 28 at 7 p.m.: concert at The Arts Center

The Arts Center is disappointed to have to cancel these programs and events but staff said they believe this is in the best interest of public health and safety for the community, artists and staff.
