The ARTISANS’ GALLERIA will be changing its hours of operation from January through March. Effective January 1, 2009 it will be closed on Mondays.
It will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 – 5. Please make a note of this as well as making an effort to stop in to the Galleria to view the items for sale, which are of unbeatable quality and price.
As a non profit group, they depend upon the public for support to keep operating, and becoming a member or making a purchase is a great way to show your support of the arts in Richmond.

The folks at the COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL OF RICHMOND and the ARTISANS’ GALLERIA, would like to thank everyone who supported them during this past year and wish one and all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
