LOCKDOWN JOURNAL: COVID-19 NEWSLETTER & PROGRAMME UPDATE (May 2020)
CLOSED
But Not Forever . . . . . .
As we move further into 2020 it is time for an update on what is happening here at BasementArtsProject with regards to our programme.
Forthcoming 2020 Projects . . .
After waiting as long as we possibly could to see how far the country has progressed with regards to the Covid-19 guidelines, we have had to concede our next show to lockdown rules. The next exhibition of drawings by Donna Coleman will still go ahead but at a later date. We will confirm the new date further down the line when the country has started to open up to gatherings again.
