Note: For those of you with art in the gallery, we have no plans as of yet to open the gallery. The Town of Ladysmith walks through the gallery and security is on with intermittent staff in and out. Once we can open you will get a phone call to pick up. Hold on tight, Be safe, Stay Home - Flatten the curve and listen to the directions our government officials are telling us.
The Board of Directors hopes you are all well and safe and painting, drawing, sculpting, writing etc. Artists are important to this world - we need you.
