Dear friends,
As most of you know, META4 Gallery in Port Perry and Peterborough have been closed since March 16th. Like you, we've been watching the news and taking seriously the impact of Covid-19. Our staff are at home and we are working behind the scenes (while keeping a distance!) to make sure that when we re-open, you'll still find a unique, exceptional and original shopping experience.
Making art has always been an important form of self expression. To celebrate good times, to articulate raw emotions, to soothe the soul, to inspire a response. No doubt our artists are busy in their studios, making art and craft as an extension of themselves.
We encourage you to take part in this therapeutic activity! META4 offers a variety of art supplies for people who like to draw or paint with oils, watercolours and acrylics. We have tools and products for mixed media. Until we can re-open our doors, you can order online and we will either ship or deliver free to you door. If you have registered for a class or workshop that has been cancelled or postponed, please stay tuned. We will be re-scheduling and adapting our studios and programs to allow more physical distancing for the time when we can gather in person again.
If you know someone who could use a bit of brightness in their day, consider ordering something from our online shop. We're adding new items and, as always, shipping is free.
To order art supplies for shipment or delivery, please email us at
info@meta4gallery.ca or
studio@meta4gallery.ca. Or call us at 905-985-1534. We'll prepare your order and you can pay over the phone. The first delivery day for Port Perry and Uxbridge will the Thursday, March 26. We'll be posting updates to the delivery schedule on our website.
Shop online with confidence. Our online payment portal is secure and reliable. If you have any problems with online orders, please call or email us.
We are so very fortunate at META4 to be part of such a wonderful, supportive and engaging community. We look forward to the time when we can meet again in person.
Until then, don't forget to share! Send us your project pics via facebook, Instagram or email. Let's stay connected.
With warmest regards,
Bonnie, Birgitta & Jen
