WHATS HAPPENING AT THE STATION

​

We will be updating our community and members as information is available and will align with County and Town procedures. The Station will continue to evaluate the situation and if anything changes with our programs we will notify all participants as soon as possible. 

​

UPDATE: The Station Arts Centre Staff and Board have come to the decision that due to the rapidly changing circumstances due to COVID - 19, that it is in the best interest to the children, members, staff and volunteers to cancel our March Break Camp this week. 

We will continue to update participants of upcoming programs on decisions being made for classes, workshops and events.

In the meantime, we urge everyone to follow these practical health tips as recommended by health authorities: 

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 

If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 

Stay home when you are sick 

Avoid sharing personal items, such as utensils and water bottles. 

Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and throw

the tissue out immediately. 

Wash your hands afterward. 

Frequently clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and shared items using regular household cleaners. 

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early and share your recent travel history with your healthcare provider

Upcoming Patenaude Family Gallery

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances with COVID 19 The Station Arts Centre is sadly announcing the postponement of our next exhibit of "Convergence" by artists Irma Makariunaite, Heather Domke and Linda McDougall.

​

We know these fantastic artists worked incredibly hard to show you their stunning pieces and we hope to have them rescheduled in as soon as possible. Each artist brought a unique and intriguing body of work that we can't wait to eventually see hanging in our Gallery.

​

In the meantime, please Linda's website to see some of her work at https://catwalkstudioglass.wixsite.com/catwalkstudioglass

​

The Station will continue to update everyone on upcoming exhibits, events and workshops that are changing or being postponed due to Covid 19

​

We ask you as our wonderful community, to continue to support local artists and small businesses during this difficult time, even just a simple share and like of their work/wares goes a long way!
