WE ARE OPEN!  Yes, as of August 4, we are now entering Phase III of our Re-Opening Plan.  Phase I started June 1 for Summer Camps, Phase II started July 6 for Students, and now we are open for the Public!  

The good news is that we has already sold four items from our new exhibition, INSIDE PERSPECTIVES, which opened August 5!  This annual exhibition of works by Shemer Art Center instructors, students and staff is always popular and we look forward to sharing it with members of the public who visit us and follow our safety code of conduct while they are here (masks required, social distancing observed, etc.), as posted in each of our public areas.  

Students who have returned for classes are comfortable with our newly organized spaces, and our instructors are helping us create some new "virtual celebration" offerings!  So stay tuned via our mobile app or website to see what is happening next at the Shemer Art Center!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
