The Historical Society has decided to cancel their New Deal Art and Music Weekend downstate. The co-event with the Cultural Arts Association was to be a pre-season fundraiser for both organizations. The BIHS issued the following statement:
Currently, the Beaver Island Historical Society museums are closed for the winter season. We are still planning to open for the 2020 season on June 21. We will provide summer event updates on social media and our websites. If we are still experiencing mandated government restrictions to contain the spread of COVID-19 we will adapt our plans accordingly.
All of our public programs, events, and tours are canceled through May 3. Sadly, this includes the New Deal Art and Music Weekend that was scheduled for April 17 & 18 in the Detroit / Ann Arbor area. Full refunds are being offered. If you purchased a ticket, please check your email for refund details.
Given the rapidly changing nature of the outbreak, we are not announcing a new event date at this time. However, the mural will return to the island in time for our June 21 opening.
The safety of our community, visitors, members, staff, and volunteers is our top priority, and we will continue to monitor new developments closely.
