covid statement
Introduction:
Arts and culture can illuminate our inner lives and enrich our emotional world and have a
wider more measurable impact on our economy, health and wellbeing. ADS is keen on welcoming our users back to restart activities. We know this has been a difficult time for everyone but we are keen to continue with creative live indoor activities and events in line with Government Guidelines.
Statement from ADS:
ADS is hoping to start activities from September 2020 and to pilot art and drama activities. At this time we will not be operating any activities that include singing, although there may be some use of instruments in some performances.
