Hi everyone,
I volunteered to hang the show but in light of the recent Covid-19 recommendations I am not so sure we should go on with the exhibition altogether.

Here are my concerns: 1. there is the risk of contagion as we will be meeting members when we receive the art and when we handle everyone’s packaging. 2. I am wondering if people will be going to public spaces for non-essential activities such as art exhibitions, leaving us with very few if any visitors.

Anyone else uneasy about this?

Installation will take place that afternoon, so all work must be delivered by 1pm. Unfortunately work that is not delivered on Saturday can not be included in the exhibition so please remember to drop off your work or find someone who can drop if off for you.

Please remember that CSP is a 100% volunteer organization and the exhibitions and other opportunities that CSP provides are only possible because members participate to make them happen. The more that members are able to volunteer and help out, the more opportunities we are able to create for our community. Please see gallery sitting hours needed at the bottom of this message. You can volunteer for one 2.5 hour timeslot, or you can volunteer for a four hour block from 11-3pm. Email xxxxxx@yahoo.com to sign up.

The exhibition will still be on view during weekend gallery hours (if some people volunteer to gallery sit) and the April 4th closing reception is still scheduled to take place.
