ACYC Gallery Closures, Guidelines, and Safety Protocols

FAQs | COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)

​
Updated 3/1/2022
​
The well-being of its staff, patrons, and the public are the Arts Council’s top priority. Cancellations and postponements are precautionary measures taken to minimize exposure. By activating social distancing, the Arts Council removes one more opportunity for people in the community to be exposed. Please check the Arts Council’s Facebook pages (@yorkcountyarts and @uffyc) and websites (yorkcountyarts.org and underexposedfilmfestivalyc.org) for the most recent updates regarding scheduled events.

 

​

We are looking to the guidance and directives of local, state and federal officials to amend our plan as necessary. While there are staff members on-site at the Center for the Arts during regular business hours, we ask that our patrons continue to conduct business with the ACYC via email or phone to minimize the possibility of exposure.
