🚧 WE ARE OPEN! 🚧

Road work may be making things a little tricky, but we are OPEN and ready for you! 🥩

For now, you can park on the side of the Craft House and take the short walk down to our shop. It’s just a quick little walk, and we promise we’re worth the few extra steps! 😉

We’re excited to see the progress happening, even if it makes getting to us a little inconvenient for the moment. Thank you so much for your patience and for continuing to support our small business! 🫶

Come on down and see us! 🥩

Hello everyone! We wanted to give you the scoop on the construction that has been happening at The Kelly recently. We are in the progress of having one of our front windows turned into another wall! We are excited about this new addition as it will give us more space to exhibit beautiful art for all of the River Region to enjoy. Even though there is some construction happening, we are still open our regular hours. We hope you will pardon our mess and visit us soon!
