Fountain and museum building

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is continuously monitoring the COVID-19 situation. We are in communication with our partners, state and local officials, and health authorities as we collectively assess all developments related to COVID-19.

As a precautionary measure, and based on guidance that advises on how we can best protect our community from the spread of COVID-19, the following changes have been made:

The Museum will be closed until further notice. While we don't have any confirmed cases connected to The Museum, we believe that we must do all that we can to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our guests and staff, which at this time calls for us to minimize gatherings while maintaining the cleanest environment possible. We look forward to soon announcing when we'll be able to welcome visitors to The Museum and opening our 2020 Special Exhibit: Lights, Color, Fashion. Follow along on social media as we share content from the exhibits, talks with the curators, and more. 

The following events have been postponed, rescheduled, or canceled:

This is a rapidly changing matter that requires frequent evaluation, assessment, and adaptation by all involved, and at all times we will heed the guidance of national and local officials and health authorities. Our commitment to the health, safety and security of everyone within our organization, or visits our site is our one and only priority. 

We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate any updates as they evolve.

Stay calm, kind, and creative.

While circumstances have separated many, we almost feel more connected than ever.  Explore the ways you can stay creative and connected during these times of uncertainty, then share with us what you've made on social by using #BWatHome
