We hope that this newsletter finds you and your families in good health. Our classes and gallery are closed through the month of April. At that time, we hope to announce a new schedule for the remaining 6-8 weeks of classes. In the meantime, look out for our emails and join us on social media @rowaytonarts. We’ll be posting some goodies to help keep you engaged and connected.

Home
Who knew that when RAC originally planned the HOME show last year, the theme would become relevant in ways we could not have imagined. We hope all of you are well and that you are finding your home to be a source of safety and comfort at this time.
HOME was unfortunately never experienced in person even though it hangs on the gallery walls. However, check out our new online gallery here !
