An Art Gallery & Education Center
FARMER'S MARKET EVERY SATURDAY
The farmer's market has started and runs every Saturday from 9 to 1. There are up to 27 venders attending this year. There'll be all sorts of crafts, early produce, and starter plants for sale. Occasionally musicians will be performing which adds to a festive atmosphere. There's also space on the porch for any of our members to set up a table and sell some items/art/crafts during the farmer's market.
ARTIST'S OPENING JUNE 11 -- from Rich
We are planning an actual live reception from 6 pm until 8 pm on Friday, the 11th of June. It will be a Potluck/buffet affair and we'll be serving soda's, water, and adult beverages that evening. This will be a fun time and a good time to hang out with other artists and the general public.
(FYI: We will have all the doors open, utilize the porch & patio so there is not too much congestion, and good air circulation).
ICE CREAM
A new feature at the Creamery! Locally made ice cream by The Third Bowl. Flavors right now are: Blueberry, Cowboy Coffee, Cookies and Cream, Mint Brownie, Fluffer Nutter, and of course Chocolate. Vanilla coming soon. Cone is $3.25 and $2 for kids. Come by for a cone, bowl, or root beer float.
VOLUNTEERS
The Creamery is still looking for some volunteers to do various things around the Creamery. If interested email Nan to inquire about what you'd like to do/what needs to be done. There is a job for everyone! Nan's email: creamery.nan@gmail.com .
CLASSES David Strong is gearing up for the summer kid's classes. Classes will start June 16, Wednesday 10-12 and 1-3. Call the creamery (970-872-4848) on Monday/Wed/Friday 12 - 6 pm to sign your kids/grandkids up. Suki will not be teaching classes until she is able (she just had knee surgery and needs to heal before teaching again). I will keep you updated on when and if the summer art classes with Suki will resume. David is still having adult classes on Wednesday nights or by appointment.
Talk to Rich if you want to teach a class or give a demonstration on any given Saturday.
Open Mic Night is happening every Wednesday night and has been really, really great fun!
Take care and I hope to see you in June at the Creamery,
Rich
The Creamery Gallery and Gift Shop is open 4 days a week. Come down and get an ice cream and sit outside on our deck. Enjoy the sunny weather.
The Creamery is well known on the Western Slope. Tourists passing through often stop at the gallery for gifts to take home. At the same time, it is an important community center for local artists to show their work. Starting in the spring, the Hotchkiss Farmers Market sets up in the park next to the Creamery the tent with the unique elephant statues. Many residents see the Creamery as similar to the Blue Sage in Paonia and the Grand Mesa Arts and Events Center in Cedaredge. We would like to see more community support from the North Fork Valley. If you are an artist, please consider becoming a member. Painting, sculpture. and other gallery artists pay $75 a year. Gift shop artists and crafts persons (making cards, jewelry, and the like), pay $40 a year. If you are supporter of local art, we urge community residents to become members, $40 for an individual and $55 for a family.
Even if you can't commit to being a member, we can use donations in any amount, no matter how small. Send your dues or donations to Creamery Arts Center, P O Box 218, Hotchkiss, CO 81419. To subscribe to our monthly newsletter, see the bottom of the CONTACT page.
If you have ideas for classes, contact Rich at the Creamery phone number.

of the Gallery
After a decade of serving the art community in Delta County, the Creamery Arts Center underwent a restructuring. The vision of a community space for education and the arts began in 2006 when a formerly vacant and run down building was extensively remodeled into a world-class art gallery and education center by Linda Tullis. The Creamery, which has since become a centerpiece of downtown Hotchkiss, as well as an attraction to visitors from outside the area, has strengthened art appreciation and provided low cost art classes to area youth and gallery space for over 60 local artists and authors to sell their work.
