Doors Open to our Holiday Shop TODAY

October 5, 2020

Hooray! Our Shop Re-Opens Today!

We are thrilled to welcome all of our supporters and shoppers back to The Shop today at NOON. We decided it made sense to start our annual holiday sale to coincide with our re-opening this year. You’ll find the shop and gallery space filled with work by over 200 American artists. It’s not too early to start your holiday shopping – especially this year!

Please take note of our new shopping hours:

Wednesday 12:00 – 4:00 pm

Thursday 12:00 – 4:00 pm

Friday 12:00 – 4:00 pm

Saturday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

We’re offering a safe shopping experience, but with all of the warm customer service you’d expect. All shoppers must wear a mask over their nose and mouth, and observe social distancing guidelines while in the shop. To see GAC COVID-19 protocols, click here.
