As COVID-19 continues to spread, we are forced to confront the reality: social distancing demands temporary closures and cancellations of events. Though we may not be able to view or contribute to exhibits, we can continue to create and share our art with others. We invite members to send us, through Facebook messenger, a photo of what they are currently creating and tell us a bit about their process. Depending on the demand, we will try to post as much as we can.
