A Message to our Patrons Regarding COVID-19: In efforts to keep our community healthy, we will be suspending all classes and events until at least April 4th. We will operate on limited hours which are subject to change daily. We will not be able to serve up our usual offerings of painted pottery or art menu in the traditional way but will be offering a “to-go” option. Preble Arts On the Go! are art kits that are available for purchase that will come in a variety of themes and mediums. You can purchase these kits online or at Preble Arts. Be on the lookout for more information about how to purchase this over the next few days. We will also be creating free tutorials for DIY home art projects to keep the community creative- and entertained- while we are in these unique circumstances.
We recognize the great need across our country to keep people physically and emotionally healthy and fiscally stable. It will come as no surprise that it makes the Preble County Art Association particularly vulnerable in this changing landscape. We will continue to put efficiency at the forefront of our operations and to do our best to offer quality experiences that serve the community. We appreciate your advocacy for a creative community.
A Message to our Patrons Regarding COVID-19: Preble Arts wants to share creativity- not germs! We are working to keep our space disinfected so we can all create with confidence. We ask you do your part and wash your hands and use hand sanitizer before taking part in art. We will continue to monitor the situation and take guidance from our health officials on our activities.
We are working diligently to keep Preble Arts free of germs by an aggressive daily disinfecting routine of wiping all touch surfaces. Our staff is also practicing safe strategies to keep ourselves and our patrons at lower risk for illnesses. We hope you choose to participate but if you feel ill or uncomfortable leaving your home, please stay there! As the landscape continues to change, we will follow state recommendations of gathering sizes and closings. If you paid in advance, we will credit your account for a future class or workshop. Be on the lookout for upcoming opportunities to participate in the arts at your own home.
