16 March 2020
As a precaution to slow the spread of COVID-19, Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, the Gallery Café and the annexe Gallery DownTown will be closed to the public from tomorrow, Tuesday 17 March 2020.
At this stage, the closure will be for two weeks (from 17 March 2020) and will be reviewed on a week-by-week basis. All associated events and public programs during this period have been cancelled or postponed.
Approximately 2500 people visit the Tweed Regional Gallery weekly, many of whom are in the vulnerable age bracket. Closing the Gallery is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting gallery visitors and staff, including volunteers and guides, slowing the spread of the virus within the community.
Staff will continue to work at the facilities during the closures, establishing new ways to engage visitors with our exhibitions and collections online as the situation continues to evolve.
If you have pre-purchased tickets for Real to Reel, our team will be in contact with you shortly.
Any new information about the operations of the Gallery in the days and weeks ahead will be posted on the Gallery website and distributed via social media channels.
