I am inclined to continue on with the show for a few reasons. Once the show is up, it will only be open for a total of 7 days, including the Closing Reception/Art Pickup on April 4th. Members can also view the show during its run. As for the hesitancy of hanging or having the show, there might be an abundance of too much caution. As we continue maintaining some sort of contact in our continuing lives; to separate brief contact with people delivering art as more dangerous than touching your daily mail, having a cashier at Safeway loading your groceries, or receiving that warm cup of coffee from your favorite barista is more problematical since those people have touched more things everyday than maybe the 50+ people that will come together delivering their art. I am sure everyone is more conscientious of limiting their social contacts, but short of locking yourselves in your home we should approach this new challenge in a more measured way. By the way, I will be bringing gloves and hand sanitizer to share this Saturday.

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. >>>> >>>> • We still desperately need gallery sitters. Unfortunately if we do not have gallery sitters during the open hours, then the exhibition will not be on view to the public. 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. >>>> >>>> •A few people have volunteered to help install the exhibition, but this is a big show with 80 prints and it is going to take a lot of time, thought and effort to install it and to install it so that it looks good. It would be really helpful to have a few more volunteers. >>>> >>>> • OPENING RECEPTION CANCELLED - Due to corona virus related concerns about large gatherings of people, the board has voted to cancel the opening reception that had been scheduled for March 20th. 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. >>>> >>>> >>>> March 15 11-2 - Karen Gallagher Iverson >>>> >>>> March 21 11-1:30 Kate Deak >>>> March 21 12:30-3 >>>> >>>> March 22 11-1:30 >>>> March 22 12:30-3 >>>> >>>> March 28 11-1:30 Maryly Snow >>>> March 2812:30-3 >>>> >>>> March 29 11-1:30 >>>> March 29 12:30-3 >>>> To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://archives.simplelists.com >>> To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://archives.simplelists.com >> >> To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://archives.simplelists.com > To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u=84arWqLsgc1Pi3pGkgVmQn79HIGdF3Yv
