Dear Friends of the Rhythm! Discovery Center community:

In times like these under other circumstances the Arts would bring people together. It is exactly that reason which makes this so hard for us and our colleagues across the country.

Starting Tuesday, March 17, 2020, Rhythm! Discovery Center will be closed to the public with an undetermined date to reopen. We will continue to follow all federal, state, and local recommended guidelines and look forward to welcoming you and your families back to R!DC just as soon as it is a safe choice for our visitors, staff, and the community at large.

We hope you will take some time over the next few weeks to explore Rhythm around your home and with your family. Rhythm is everywhere, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences online and in person when we meet again soon.

We wish you all peace during these challenging times.

In Rhythm,
Joshua Simonds
Executive Director
Percussive Arts Society and Rhythm! Discovery Center
