Greetings Friends!

Our full… and lengthy… statement about our response to the Covid 19 Crisis follows.
Covid 19 Crisis - Full Statement - March 18, 2020
Updated 3/30/20
Shopping In Person
The gallery is closed for in person shopping until further notice as we weather the challenges that our Community is facing. We’ll continue to assess this situation, and we’ll adjust as necessary. Please continue to check here for our updates, visit us on our social media sites, and subscribe to our newsletter for new announcements.
Special Events
Our Final Friday Opening on April 24th has been cancelled.
Classes
On a rolling weekly basis, we're rescheduling classses as needed. We'll be in touch individually with Registered Guests who are impacted by this with further details about their newly scheduled classes. This information will also be posted to our website (Click here for the most updated version.) and to the "Events" section of our Facebook Page (Click here for the most updated version.). Both of these pages will be updated frequently in the coming weeks, so check back often. We're coordinating our classroom schedule and our Artist Instructors' schedules now, and we'll be in touch again with each of you by email as quickly as possible.
Buy Gift Certificates
Help our Artists by purchasing gift certificate for yourself or a friend. (Click here to order online.) Gift certificates may be used online or in person for classes, gifts, and art purchases. Options for electronic delivery or shipping are available.
Pre-Register for Future Classes
Pre-register for classes that are scheduled in the future. (Please click here to view our full class listing online.) We'll immediately begin to list our new class offerings through the end of the year to this page. We have a ton of fun planned for you, and we're already looking forward to resuming normal business hours. All funds paid to ARTworks Vass for classes are distributed to our Artist Instructors as payment is received, and this income from pre-registrations will help each of them to weather a month or more of significantly reduced income. Thank you! Your class registrations really do make a positive impact on our lives.
Shop Online With Us
We'll be resurrecting our "Momentary Marketplace" (Click here to visit.) and our Online Store (Click here to visit.) to encourage folks to shop for affordable art from afar. Please consider adding to your collection or giving gifts made by the Artists of ARTworks Vass. Please also share us with your friends.
We'll also be offering personal shopping services, curbside pickup, and delivery service within a reasonable distance around the gallery. Contact us to discuss your special requests, and we'll respond with photos, videos, and to chat about how we can best assist you.
Create with Us (Yes. Really!)
As we proceed through the next few weeks, we'll be encouraging you through a series of original creative prompts from our artists. These tidbits from our homes and our studios will brighten your days, encourage you to find your creativity, and help you to enrich your solitary time with your family. These prompts will be posted to Instagram (Click here to follow.), Facebook (Click here to follow.), and Twitter (Click here to follow.). We'll also share a roundup of our best offerings with you in a weekly edition of our email newsletter.
To Sum It All Up
Thank you! For your continued support of ARTworks Vass and our Artists.
Stay Healthy. You, and your personal well being matter more to us than any purchase you'll ever make. When we emerge from the challenges that we face, and we will emerge from them, we want you to be right here beside us as we move forward. Stay hydrated; wash your hands; count to twenty; read a good book; make art; listen to your health care providers; and if possible, approach this break from reality as a well deserved staycation.
This crisis will pass; our definition of 'normal' will shift; and the resultant stress caused by all of it will likely linger longer than we're hoping. An affordable piece of original artwork, handmade one-of-a-kind gift for a loved one or for yourself, or a few hours of creativity in our classroom will be balm for the soul for all involved.
You will once again experience the joy of creating in our classrooms, the satisfaction of giving the perfect gift to the one you love, or the indulgent pleasure of treating yourself to the gift of affordable artwork.
In the meantime, your purchases will...
... help us to keep the lights on at ARTworks Vass....
... and you'll be supporting a Local Working Artist.
... AND, perhaps most importantly, they'll allow us to continue to dream big inclusive dreams about the power of Art and Community right here in Vass. I suspect that we need it now more than ever.
With Much Love, Hope, and Gratitude,
Jean
