This year we are featuring Lis Wright Ivec, Josephine Heidi Estey, Lisa Noble, Braden Duncan, Ryan Allred and Keith Waters with original art, prints, & cards that will be available in person or online. Due to the relaxing of the COVID-19 distancing rules, we can now have people view the show but on a much smaller scale than usual.

We do have guidelines if you do wish to attend the opening night.
1) If you feel unwell please stay home & view online.
  2) Please wear a mask.
  3) Keep 6 ft. away from others.
  4) 15 -20 minute time limit in the Shoppe.

We will diligently clean shared public surfaces after each visitor & will be allowing up to 6-8 people in the Shoppe at a time.

For those who wish to view online I will post a video on Instagram & Facebook with artist cameos around 7:30pm ~ and will have art available on the website. We are so happy to be able to have this show even if it’s on a small scale this year. Happy Summer Solstice to all!

With much love, respect, and gratitude ~ Thank you!!! Show runs thru July 16th
