Following official government advice issued on Monday 16 March asking people to avoid public spaces and offices, we are officially suspending all face-to-face meetings and public-facing activities with immediate effect until further notice.

Our first priority is everyone’s safety. The First Art team will be working remotely, wherever possible, and we’ll be looking at ways we can make the most of technology to potentially enable some of our groups such as the Socials, to continue in a virtual sense. Most importantly, we will be looking at how we can support one another in these unprecedented times.

Keep safe everyone and stay strong.
