The Art Center has made the health and safety of our patrons, volunteers, and staff its top priority during this difficult time. Since March 2020, we have implemented all IDPH guidelines to meet this priority. Given the increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Quincy, we are closing in an effort to encourage people to stay at home at this critical time. We want to help to reduce the spike in cases and the resulting pressure on local health systems.

The Art Center is dedicated to fulfilling our mission during these challenging times. There are many Art Center programs still available to our community.

–Exhibits are online for at-home viewing.

–Online art classes, workshops, and private parties are available.

–Innovative take-home art kits are very popular.

-Book a private gallery visit for you and members of your household by emailing Jen Teter at jteter@quincyartcenter.org

–Connect with us on social media.

Our full-time staff members will continue to work from home. They can all be reached via email addresses listed here.

Our hope is to reopen on January 2, 2021. We will actively monitor the data and to determine the next steps for a controlled reopening of our building as appropriate. This date is tentative and could change based on state and local recommendations. We will communicate our plans via email, website, and social media.
