COVID-19 CANCELLATION Announcement
The health and safety of our Members, Patrons, Guest artists and Red Brick Gallery customers are of paramount importance to us. In the face of the current pandemic and in the best interest of everyone involved, ARCA’s Board has made the difficult decision to cancel or postpone all ARCA events through the end of June, including Red Brick Gallery and Gift Shop hours and exhibits.
The performances canceled include:
- April 4 – Lisa Bleil and Friends – Jazz Ballads to 80’s Dance Songs

- June 6 – Judi Figel – Heart & Soul Cabaret
We are deeply saddened not to be able to share these unique music and art experiences with our treasured ARCA Members and audiences. We will continue to reevaluate recommendations from Governor Tom Wolf’s office and moving into the Green Zone; we will proceed based on the best information available regarding the possibility of resuming ARCA’s Summer schedule of concerts and gallery exhibits.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding as we work through this uncharted territory together. We look forward to sharing inspiring music and art with you again very soon as we emerge from this healthy and eager for the spiritual enrichment that live performances and art exhibits provide.
Sincere wishes for your protection, health and safety,
