2020 Elected Artists Exhibition Postponed
Art League Elected Artist and Members
We are writing this to let you know we have made the decision to postpone the 2020 Elected Artists Exhibition scheduled to open on March 28 due the ongoing concern about the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The Bryant University campus will be open however their classes will be moved online from Tuesday, March 17, through Friday, March 27.
We want this exhibition to show your work in the best possible light and to allow as many people as possible to view the exhibition. With this in mind we will reschedule the exhibition to sometime in the fall.
Thank you for your understanding. We will keep you posted.
In the meantime, please…be safe and be well.
With Gratitude! Your ALRI Board
