We are excited to be inviting visitors back into our interior exhibition space after an intense week of cleaning up. As you may have heard, a fire was set outside our lower level garage 9 days ago. It happened very early in the morning, before our staff arrived. No one was hurt, and damage was minor thanks to the quick response of the Courtenay Fire Department and City Hall staff.
But even “minor” damage required clean up and attention. SHOP:MADE will be closed until next Thursday, but we are very glad to invite people back into the exhibition space to see and hear?VISIBLE LABOUR.?
