/
As mentioned during our Gala in recognition of the young adults who are leading us forward in the struggle for an equitable and sustainable world, the unique collaborative, grass-roots visual arts exhibit titled The Tar Sands Storytelling Project is on display all month at Salmagundi, in Ashland.
From Joel & Jocelyn at Salmagundi: We have made the decision to postpone the March 13 reception at Salmagundi to fall on the side of caution when it comes to public health. We hope that we can reschedule for later in the month, perhaps when the folks would be here to pick up the art. We are keeping our business closed for the next week, at least, to see how things progress. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment to all, including ourselves, who have been planning and looking forward to this very important event.
