The Old School House Arts Centre (TOSH) in Qualicum Beach has closed its doors to the public as a preemptive step to stop the spread of COVID-19.
As of Nov. 18 the doors will remain closed until the next planned exhibition starts on Jan. 6, 2021.
In a public release, TOSH staff confirmed that there has not been any positive cases of COVID-19 at the arts centre, but they consider this as a proactive approach to “protect the well-being of the community.”

TOSH plans to share its current exhibition through their newsletter, website and social media.
