Due to the ongoing pandemic, masks are strongly encouraged. If you do not have a mask, one can be provided. Social distancing is encouraged. Let’s keep each other safe.

The session will take place on the first floor of Fleisher Art Memorial, an ADA accessible space. There are five steps to enter the building, which is wheelchair accessible through use of a stair lift. The session will take place in the Sanctuary, approximately 45 feet away from the main entrance and down 2-3 steps into and across the gallery space. A wheelchair ramp is also available to access the Sanctuary. There are gender neutral restrooms in the lobby near the main entrance. Fleisher offers free parking in the lot across the street, and includes designated accessible parking spaces. The sidewalk surface varies and there is a curb cut at the corner of 7th and Catharine.

ASL interpretation and childcare available by request when you RSVP by Wednesday, April 30. Please let us know if you require these or any other accommodations in the event registration form. We’ll do our best to accommodate.
