Dear Friends,

The health and safety of our Belger Arts community is our highest priority. We are closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation as it evolves and will update our procedures as conditions warrant. 

At this time, we are open and have made no changes to our schedule of exhibitions, classes, workshops or studio access. Belger Arts, Belger Crane Yard Studios and Crane Yard Clay will continue operating during normal business hours. If these plans change, we will update you promptly through our website, via email and on our social media channels.

To ensure the safety and cleanliness of our facilities, we are heeding the advice of the pros and doing the following:

• Cleaning high-touch areas, such as door handles, railings, elevator buttons, and restroom surfaces, as frequently as possible.

• Posting friendly reminders about hand-washing best practices in all restrooms.

• Closely monitoring and following the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and state and local government agencies.

We ask everyone (staff, artists, and guests) to follow these recommendations:

• If you are sick, stay home.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Refrain from handshakes, hugs, fist bumps and other personal contact

• Use cleaning spray or wipes to disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

We want to continue to stay open and be a resource for our community during this volatile time.  The most important thing each of us can do is to live our lives as normally as possible, but to STAY HOME IF WE DO NOT FEEL WELL. It is certain that things will continue to change, and it is also certain that at some point, things will improve.

Thank you for reading, and please take good care of you and yours.

Warmly,

The Belger Arts Community
