BIG ARTS Announces Cancellation of Performing Arts Series

Blog

Welcome to the latest news update from BIG ARTS in Jacksonville. We regret to inform our valued audience that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our highly anticipated Performing Arts Series for the upcoming season. This decision was made after careful consideration and with the utmost regard for the safety and well-being of our patrons, artists, and staff.

Background

As a renowned nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting arts and culture in Jacksonville, BIG ARTS has always strived to bring exceptional performances, exhibitions, and educational programs to our community. Our Performing Arts Series has been a highlight of our annual calendar, showcasing a diverse range of talented artists from around the world.

However, in light of the ongoing global pandemic and the associated challenges it poses for live events, we have had to make this difficult decision. The health and safety of our audience members, performers, and staff are our top priority, and we believe it is in the best interest of everyone involved to cancel the series for this season.

The Impact

We understand that this news may be disappointing for many of our dedicated supporters who eagerly anticipate the Performing Arts Series each year. It is important to emphasize that this decision was not taken lightly, but rather made after careful consideration of the risks and challenges posed by the current climate.

While we recognize the immense value of live performances and the joy they bring, we feel that it is our responsibility to prioritize the well-being of our community. By canceling the series, we aim to contribute to the collective effort of minimizing the spread of the virus and ensuring the safety of all individuals involved.

Future Plans and Alternative Offerings

Although the cancellation of the Performing Arts Series is undeniably disappointing, we are actively exploring alternative ways to continue offering engaging arts experiences to our audience.

During these unprecedented times, we have redirected our resources towards creating virtual exhibitions, online performances, and interactive workshops, allowing individuals to experience the arts from the safety and comfort of their own homes. We believe that by embracing technology, we can continue to foster a sense of artistic connection and provide a platform for local and international artists to showcase their talents in innovative ways.

We remain dedicated to our mission of promoting arts and culture in Jacksonville and will continue to explore creative ways to engage with our audience.
