COVID-19 UPDATE
We hope to have our Alameda On Camera Exhibit up as soon as we are allowed to reopen. In the meantime we are creating an online gallery for AOC. Thank you for your patience!
Due to the shelter in place order the center will remain closed until shelter in place is lifted. But that doesn't mean we can't have ART! Please share your art on the Frank Bette Center Facebook page. We all need something positive to look at while we endure this pandemic.
The health of our Frank Bette community is of utmost importance. The dates for classes/workshops are set using the best case scenario. Our schedules will remain fluid as we follow the guidelines set forth by our government agencies during the COVID-19 crisis. Please remember that all of our dates for classes and workshops, exhibits and programs are tentative. Check our website for updates and changes in scheduling and possible changes in the format that we may use to offer classes and programs. We look forward to seeing all of you when it is deemed safe so until then, please stay healthy.
We are in the process of developing some online classes. We will update you when we know more.
UPDATED TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 2020
The gallery will be closed until April 7th in compliance with the regional order to shelter in place for the Covid-19 virus.
Classes are rescheduled until May.
UPDATED 6:44PM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11
Because our membership skews older, we have decided to cancel the Second Friday art opening for March 13 and the Second Saturday Poetry on March 14 have been cancelled. The Galley will stay open our usual hours. Please check back for further updates.
As you are no doubt aware, museums and cultural organizations worldwide are grappling with the dynamic and evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We continue to closely monitor the situation, heeding the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and the Alameda County Department of Public Health and we want you to know that we are taking every precaution to support the health and wellbeing of all those who visit our campus.
As of today, we remain open to the public during our regular hours, (Thursday - Sunday 11-5) Second Friday, and all other scheduled classes. At this time, the Alameda County Public Health Department tells us that the risk of becoming infected with coronavirus continues to be low for the general public here in Alameda.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Frank Bette Center for the Arts soon and want you to know how we’re addressing the situation:
As we continue to follow the recommendations of our local and national health authorities, we will keep you posted of any changes as they occur. If we determine that the Gallery should close or postpone programming, we will notify you via email, on our website, and on our social media channels.
We hope you’ll visit soon to enjoy our latest exhibition, Frank Bette Instructors Show. Friday, March 13, 6:30 - 9:00.
Thank you, as always, for sticking with us as we navigate the uncertainty of this trying time. For more information on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, please visit the CDC website for up-to-date information about the coronavirus and flu.
We look forward to welcoming you back to FBCA, and please take good care of yourselves.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Frank Bette Center for the Arts soon and want you to know how we’re addressing the situation:
- FBCA employees and volunteers are being asked to stay home if they are ill.
- Staff are sanitizing all high-touch areas of the Gallery and Classrooms, including handrails, door knobs, and the bathroom door and surfaces, several times per day with non-toxic cleaners that are effective against viruses.
- Staff and volunteers are adopting recommended hygiene practices--washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and using hand sanitizer as a back-up, and covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or in the crook of the elbow rather than with their hands.
- If you feel ill or uncomfortable attending an event or class, please stay home.
As we continue to follow the recommendations of our local and national health authorities, we will keep you posted of any changes as they occur. If we determine that the Gallery should close or postpone programming, we will notify you via email, on our website, and on our social media channels.
