Due to the circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 situation, we made the decision to cancel the Opening Reception for the 12th Annual Member Show this month. As of right now, the museum is closed through April 13th. We plan to be open on April 17th with a new exhibition, however, will will not be having an Opening Reception.

We wanted to be able to provide our museum friends with an opportunity to see the work currently on display in the Member Show since we are not able to view it in person. Below is a list of award recipients as well as a gallery of the show pieces and museum space.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all navigate these uncertain times. Stay safe out there. We are all in this together.
