We want to share with you some exciting news, a little breath of fresh air… Our board has been continuing to think about and plan, how we can approach a new normal during this time. One of the things that comes up more than others during these past few months is how we can serve our members and residents in Carver County and do it safely. Through our many discussions in changing our environment and needs due to COVID-19, we are moving our Gallery Exhibits to the Chaska Community Center. This will increase the number of shoppers and visitors to our Center which will be beneficial to Holiday sales. The environment is large and open so we can provide a much safer space for members, shoppers, and guests.
Although we have had significant event cancellations and we were functioning through reduced volunteer hours earlier this year, we are moving forward! We have a great connection and are welcoming the openness that the Chaska Community Center provides. Our desire is to keep consistency for members. We are working to bring more online projects on board as well as some socially distanced activities. We look to reignite our programming through exhibits with social distancing, online and in class/learning opportunities in the works, retail functioning with social distancing and online sales in place, etc. We have an exceptional team of board members and volunteers and we are excited for our new future in the new normal.
We are capable and positive as we react, respond, re-strategize, recover and realize what is needed to stay connected to you, our member audience, and our communities during this time. Many people are ready to re-explore the arts and programming, and we are here for them and for you.
As always, we welcome any questions, comments and/or feedback you might have. Please feel free to contact us at info@artsofcarvercounty.org.
Thank you,
Cynthia Anderson, President ACCC

We invite all artists to enter our upcoming exhibition Reflections and Abstractions. Our search for Reflections is precisely those aspects one focuses on and what is visual at certain points in time which features aspects of light. Like the return of light from a surface, the production of an image by or as if by a mirror or the action of bending or folding back, reflective patterns. Abstractions borrow certain coordinations from already constructed structures or images and reorganize them in a function of new givens. This can originate from certain color, figure, nature and consistence having been observed to go together, or perceived, and compounding them.
We look forward to seeing many interesting and beautiful works of art.
