 Workshops/Classes

We are committed to complying with MDHHS and CDC COVID-19 mandates and guidelines and at this time we will not be holding any in-person activities/events.  When it is deemed to do so safely, we will begin to offer small classes on-site.  At such time, the following procedures will be required of all individuals entering the art gallery/center: Wearing a mask or face covering, use hand sanitizer when entering, have a temperature check and answer symptom questions.  Additionally, we will be limiting the on-site class sizes and the total number of people allowed in the art gallery/center at one time to allow for social distancing. All areas will be cleaned and disinfected on a nightly basis.
