OOAK Artisan Showcase

Our prayers are with the residents and businesses in Rome after the devastating tornado that went through yesterday. I am grateful that there were no injuries reported and our children and grandchildren are safe. We trust God will be with everyone as they rebuild and become an even better city.

Lord, I pray for full restoration, especially to Your houses of worship. Put your arms around those who are fearful, replace their fear with Your peace - a peace that passes all understanding. Lord, be with the government leaders in the City of Rome and Oneida County as they direct resources and support. Be with the workers at National Grid as they attempt to repair and restore electricity. Protect the citizens as they help to clean up their streets and yards. Put a hedge of protection around them. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

I love my friend’s gorgeous floral artwork! Just beautiful.

This print would look so good in the right room!

Hello? Anyone out there?!
Guess what, OOAK is starting back up! We don’t have a gallery or store (yet?!) but we do want to start promoting the many talented artists/artisans that have graced our pages and gallery over the years!

So, if you are a member of OOAK Artisan Showcase, please MESSAGE me here to let me know you are still interested.

I’ll send you the email address where you can then send me your latest design or artwork along links to your current social media and all online presence.

If you are not a member of OOAK, don’t worry, we will be opening up membership in August!

Man! I wrote a whole long post...went to get a video to attach and P**F! I don't have the energy to write it all again! I'll try again tomorrow (maybe!)

But as we have been getting quite a few inquires we wanted to tell you all about the decision to close OOAK. To summarize, we have relocated to Syracuse NY. We are happy...I'll tell you more soon.

Hope you are all creating and happy too! ~ Shelley

CANCELLING today’s event at OOAK Artisan Showcase. Stay home where you are safe and warm!

(Ran out for last minute fixins at 7am to get ahead of the snow. Then nothing! But it just started and it’s accumulating fast. )

CANCELLED!! Stay home.

We are NOT having our season closing reception on TODAY. We hope you don’t have to go out because it’s really starting to come down out there!!

Our gallery will close for the winter. We will reopen in April 2020. We have already booked over 10 artists for next year! Stay tuned.
