Dear Community Artists' Collective visitors and supporters,

We continue to play close attention to the news and announcements surrounding the COVID - 19 outbreak.

The Collective asks that you continue to wear masks and practice social distancing when visiting our facility (and elsewhere as well). We also urge you to take advantage of the free vaccinations provided throughout the city for you and your loved ones' protection. We value your support and understanding during these extraordinary times.

Do all that you can to keep yourself and your family and friends safe and healthy by staying informed from a reputable source. Here is the link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov).

We’ve never won an Oscar,

an Emmy, a Tony or a Golden Globe,

but we have some pretty good stories to tell you on YouTube. Check out what we’re doing in the community to increase art education and appreciation and how we support many talented artists and crafts folks. Our videos include workshops, artist interviews and exhibition tours. We invite you to visit our channel and subscribe.

It’s free!
