EMERSON E-NEWS: AUGUST
|  |
| | | |
| |
Hello Emerson Friends,
I hope you are healthy and making the best of summer during these challenging times. It is hard to believe that it is already August. It hasn't felt like summer here because we were not able to offer Art Walks, Lunch on the Lawn, and the Garden & Home Tour, and that has been sad for us because we miss seeing you stroll through our beautiful building.
Despite not having some of our favorite programs during summer, we are open for you to visit the businesses and galleries in the Emerson. Perhaps now more than ever you need to make time for a visual getaway. Mask up, sanitize your hands, and take a stroll through our wonderful building. All of our summer exhibits are exceptional and might provide the perfect respite from these unprecedented times. We are here for you and we miss you.
With gratitude,
Susan Denson-Guy
Executive Director
