At the Clear Lake Arts Center, we strive to be a dynamic and vibrant hub to promote and preserve creativity as part of every human’s daily life. We believe in order to achieve this we must help keep our community healthy and vibrant. We are actively monitoring updates from the CDC regarding COVID-19 to make informed decisions on how to address the Clear Lake Arts Center activities and events.
With the current information from the CDC, we feel the responsible choice for our community is to close the Arts Center for 30 days. We are also suspending our programming until April 30. During this time we will continue to monitor recommendations from the CDC while planning a robust program schedule for when we re-open.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure our visitors, volunteers, and staff remain safe and healthy.
With gratitude,
The Clear Lake Arts Center Staff and Board of Directors
