CREAMERY ARTS CENTER NAMED NON PROFIT OF THE YEAR
The Hotchkiss Chamber awarded the Creamery "Non-Profit of the Year" and we are honored to be recognized by the Chamber and the town of Hotchkiss. Calling all Members! It's that time of year when membership renewals are due and I encourage all of you to pop a check in the mail or swing by the Creamery sometime in January and pay your membership dues. This is a very important time to pay your dues, because The Gallery will be closed during January and we still need to pay bills/Rich even though we're closed. Thanks to those artists/supporters who have already renewed/paid for their membership. P.O. Box 218, Hotchkiss, CO 81419 is our mailing address. Creamery. Gallery Artists pay $75, Gift Shop Artists pay $40. Community members pay $40 ($55 for a family). Businesses contribute $125. If you have any questions, call Rich at 872-4848. Hello Creamery Artist Members and Community Supporting Members. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday Season and thanks for making 2021 a wonderful year. It was not without its challenges/struggles, but overall, The Creamery had a great season. Even though the Creamery will be closed in January, someone will be here Monday - Friday in the Pottery Studio. 11 am - 6, Monday, Wed., Friday. and 11-4 Tuesdays and Thursdays. (with the exception of Tues.1/4 and Thurs. 1/6, Rich will not be available). Come to the Side "student entrance" door by the Pottery Studio in the back of the building if you wish to speak to David or Rich. These would also be the times if you want to pick up or drop off art in January and/or attend classes during this time. Please call before coming to pick up/drop off/swapping art. This will make it easier for Rich to be prepared/available to assist. 970-872-4848 is the Creamery's number and just leave a message if no one answers. Susan Vaniman is having a basket weaving class @ 10 am on Saturday, January 15th. Please call the creamery to RSVP for this very fun class. If you would like to teach a class sometime in the new year speak to Rich and we can make it happen. Open Mic night will continue every Wednesday in January, along with David Strong's adult pottery classes. The only Wednesday that Open Mic Night will be canceled is January 5th as Rich will not be available. Rich will be away from the Creamery the first week in January on a much-needed break. So, please wait until the next week if you need Rich for anything (even dropping off/picking up Art). Rich will be back at the Creamery on the 10th of January. The Creamery will reopen on Friday, February 11th and the plan is to have an Opening Reception that evening at 6pm (hopefully, as long as Covid is under control). The theme will be "Spring, Love is in the Air" and that'll go hand in hand with Valentine's Day on the 14th and the end of winter/rebirth of nature. So, it's a fairly broad theme and I hope you all will participate by bringing in some new/themed art for our reopening. We'll also be celebrating Hilary Stein in February and her work will be on display in the Peach Gallery/Ice Cream room throughout the month of February. She is a wonderful artist and we're blessed to have her continue to be a member of the Creamery as an artist and instructor. Once again, thank you all for being Creamery members/supporters! We cannot exist without you and all your hard work/support is paying off and 2022 should be the best year yet for your local/hometown Art Center. Thanks again. Rich |
