March 2021
Greetings from Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts!
March has arrived with sunshine and blue skies that herald the impending start of spring and our workshop season. We’re hosting our first virtual and on-campus classes of 2021 this month in addition to our weekly virtual literary arts events. On the third Wednesday of the month we celebrate the return of in-person Women’s Art Parties in the Lind Pavilion.
As the snow and ice that’s blanketed our 2.5-acre campus for weeks continues to thaw, our buildings and grounds maintenance projects continue. This weekend Board members and staff will spend time in strategic planning sessions designed to help us think about and plan for our post-pandemic future. In the meantime, our partners at Farmers Savings Bank have assisted us in obtaining a second forgivable SBA PPP loan. We are extremely grateful for that support as well as the donations we continue to receive from the Shake Rag Alley community.
Read on for ways you can engage your creativity with Shake Rag Alley this month, and be in touch if we can answer any questions. You can reach us at info@shakeragalley.org or (608) 987-3292.
