LAST CALL TO JOIN WALK WITH ME

Friends,

We are gearing up for the final weekend of events for WALK WITH ME: uncovering the human dimensions of the overdose crisis. See below for details on the weekend of walks, talks, videos and ceremony.

After Saturday's events, the Gallery and Shop:Made will close from Nov. 22 to Dec 3 while we paint, prepare, and install our winter program, SPACE BETWEEN US. Read below for details.

Starting Dec. 3, the Gallery and Shop will be open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10am to 5pm. We will also be open on Dec. 22 and 23.

We made the difficult decision to not host our annual Winter Art Market this year -- a tradition since 1974. We faced too many challenges in light of COVID-19, but stay tuned for other events and special opening times to mark the holiday season.

All the best. Stay healthy and safe,

-The CVAG team
