• The Gregg Museum of Art & Design will be canceling public access to all galleries until further notice.

According to Holly, anyone who has purchased tickets for a remaining event will be offered a refund. Ticket holders will be refunded automatically or will be contacted by Ticket Central.

In addition to the cancelations, Holly encourages anyone who planned to give on the postponed Day of Giving to donate to the Student Emergency Fund to support students’ “unexpected financial needs related to the COVID-19 epidemic.”

According to Holly, Arts NC State will continue to update its website for information about COVID-19 cancelations.
