Four Rivers Cultural Center has weathered the COVID-19 storm over the year 2020 by altering its offerings to the community. The center is known for offering programs that are either low-cost or free to the community.
These offerings have included events of many different types, ranging from entertainment to education to health-related endeavors and have included music, lights, and plenty of community connection.
Closed to the public
Matt Stringer, Four Rivers Cultural Center executive director, recounted how the center closed to the public on March 13, 2020, but opened back up with some limited activity options in mid-July.
He noted that Center staff were paid for a duration of four months thanks to the SBA Paycheck Protection Program grant.
