TEMPORARY CLOSURE To The Public
Effective March 18th
The Rooftop Arts Centre has temporarily closed to the public — effective March 18, to help contain the spread of COVID-19.
The Rooftop’s priority is to protect and support our visitors, artists, staff and volunteers. While we don’t have any confirmed cases connected to the Rooftop, we believe that we must do all that we can to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our community, which at this time calls for us to minimise gatherings while maintaining the cleanest environment possible. We look forward to soon announcing when we’ll be able to welcome our staff and visitors back to the Rooftop.
We will assess the situation on a weekly basis.

POSTCARD SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT
20th March 2020
Due to the temporary closure of the Rooftop Arts Centre following government advice concerning COVID-19 our current exhibition the Postcard Show has been cut short.
Whilst we sincerely regret this we have a duty to do our part to keep our community safe during this public health crisis. We are monitoring this decision on a weekly basis and will update social media and our website with more information when we can.
We would like to ask all the artists in the exhibition to leave their works with us if possible. We can safely keep these stored ready for collection when we re-open. Please do not come to the gallery on the advertised dates (25/03 – 28/03 and 01/04 – 04/04) to collect as we cannot guarantee that we will be open. All artworks will be stored safely and there is no charge for this so do not worry, and there will be no time limit on collection when we finally re-open.
Any entries that were posted to us with a stamped self addressed envelope will be returned shortly within the next few weeks. Anyone who entered from outside of Northamptonshire or is desperate for their work be returned via post please get in touch, we will be able to send back a limited number of entries. We will be prioritising the return of entries by those less able to travel to us for collection at a later date.
Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time, Rooftop Arts Centre Team
