   Please note:  We are abiding by the Public Health Guidelines for the safety of everyone.  Most artists are moving their studios outdoors to allow for social distancing.  We ask that you respect the rule of keeping 6 feet apart unless you are visiting with your family.  There will be hand sanitizers available and artists will be restricting the number of people in their event space at one time.  This is a fun way to view and shop for artwork to support your local artists. 
   We look forward to welcoming you.
