Good afternoon everyone,
We regret to tell you that we are unable to hold the reception for The Best of The Art Guild on Sunday, August 26. As you know, parking is a premium here at Elderfields and we were unable to secure a parking waiver for the boulevard. The gallery will be open from 1-5pm. We apologize for the change in plans and hope that things will work out better next year.
Pick up for “Best of” and drop off for “Wallflowers” will be from 3-5pm on Sunday, August 26, and 5-7 on Monday, Aug 27.
