A Thought
In light of COVID-19 we are also asking artists to think of creative ideas that would involve potential one-on-one or small classes that could be safe activities. Such as wreath making, card making, or any ideas or crafts that would be good for social distancing. Class proposals and activities can begin as early as late September/early October to give plenty of time to complete before the holidays. If you are interested in teaching, please contact Cherie at cherie@crossroads-arts.org.
