Since reopening our 2.5-acre campus to the public in June 2020, we’ve adjusted the way we safely operate several times as the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved.
We have updated our procedures across the board, including but not limited to the following:
• Effective June 1, 2022, face coverings are optional indoors;
• Checking in and out of our spaces are contactless processes.

• We have updated our cleaning and sanitizing processes to be more frequent and more thorough.
• Additionally, we have also made hand sanitizer available for your convenience in the high-trafficked areas of our campus.

The brick and stone Sardeson building was built in the commercial vernacular as an addition to the Globe Hotel in 1877. The building has undergone extensive renovations since 2016, when Mineral Point potter and stonemason Roland Sardeson bequeathed the building to Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts for use as lodging rooms, a classroom, and a gallery space. The creative community of Mineral Point awaits right outside your door, which is just a five-minute walk from the Shake Rag Alley campus.
