To our clients, our artists, and friends,
I thought I would reach out to you after our last email a few weeks ago. While most everyone has been self-isolating and social distancing, I hope that while you are home, you enjoy getting to see the daily NEW ADDITION updates. I have tried to keep things current each day as quite a few people have reached out to say that they appreciate something remaining "normal." So they will still keep going up each day!
What are we doing at King Galleries during this time of crisis?
Most importantly, I want to express my appreciation for those of you who have continued to buy items through our website online or by phone.
THANK YOU! Not only does it keep us upbeat and busy, but funds coming in now, are used as much a possible, to continue to buy from our gallery artists.
This has been a primary part of our mission for 25 years. Now it is even more critical to help Native artists, their families, and Pueblo communities during difficult times. Thank you for helping us help them and keep them creating!
Always Open Online!
As you may know, all non-essential businesses in New Mexico and Arizona have closed their stores. However, we are still open online, and I'm in the gallery (alone!) each day. We are answering calls and emails and DMs on social media. So, feel free to reach out anytime!
Did you know you can subscribe to an Artist online?
Did you know that you don't have to miss that perfect work from your favorite artist because you were unable to check out new additions? Yes, we solved the let me know the problem! We have a
subscription link on many of your favorite artist pages that will allow you to receive an email each time something new is added. The email has a photo and a full description of the new work, with a direct link to check it out on the website. And don't worry about too much email in your box, you can unsubscribe anytime just by clicking a link on the email.
Click here to subscribe to the individual artist updates! Also let us know if your favorite artist isn't listed, we can add them in!
Our Employees
Many of you are familiar with our incredible employees in Santa Fe and Scottsdale. Although our storefronts are temporarily closed, our employees are still fully employed. This is one of my significant objectives, and we are getting lots of projects completed that I have procrastinated on for years!
Packing and Shipping
We are doing all our packing in house with our employees using gloves. All interior boxing and packing are new material. Your safety and wellbeing, and your confidence in the protection of our shipping are vital to us!
Upcoming Events
Finally, we had events planned in April with Susan Folwell and Tammy Garcia. They will both now be online events! We are going to be adding great new content to the website and social media for both events.
As the situations remain fluid, anything and everything can change, and we will keep you posted.
I remain available by email, phone, text, and Direct Message on Social Media. I will try and be immediately responsive.
Please stay safe, and we hope this pandemic is short-lived and our economic recovery fast.
Please accept our Best Wishes for Everyone to Stay Healthy, and thank you for your continued support of the gallery, our artists, and being part of our team in a time of stress and uncertainty.
