Stopping By: The gallery is taking your safety and comfort seriously. We will limit the number of visitors in the space at any given time, so we strongly encourage you to email or call ahead to let us know you are coming by. Or, you may arrive without an appointment, and if there are few enough visitors in the space, we will be happy to welcome you in.

Per the Governor’s decree, all visitors are required to wear masks in our space, and we will have disposables available for those without. If you feel unwell, please stay home, particularly as an immunocompromised person is on our staff. We will be cleaning surfaces all through the day, and doing our utmost to ensure everyone’s safety.

Don’t want to come in? That’s ok! We’re happy to meet you at the door or at your vehicle with your artwork. Please give us a shout if you plan to come by so that we can properly ready your artwork for pick-up.

Please excuse any delays. We are currently operating with fewer staff than usual, and adapting to the new challenges of this schedule. We appreciate your understanding and patience!

We will continue to assess how best to protect our clients, artists and staff in the weeks to come. Our schedule will likely remain in flux. Feel free to reach out with any questions: 206 405 4040 / art@stoningtongallery.com
