Inquiring minds want to know what happened to you guys?

What about the paintings?

Are we going to reopen? When? Where? We are dying from cultural deprivation!

RELAX everyone.

O.K. we are still here, seeing old friends and meeting new friends

in the land of LEE.
We have considered offers from Coast to Coast but have narrowed it down to Southern California.

We are looking for the right spot. Think you’ve got it send inquiries to velveteria@earthlink.net.

We have many new stories for a new book. We thank everyone for their inquiries and stories.

We are here to answer any questions anyone has about their velvet paintings. We love to hear any and all stories you want to share. Our collection grows like weeds. We are always looking for paintings that are new and different.

We continue to discover new artists working on velvet and would love to hear from y’all.

We are taking applications for traveling shows for any museum that wants to put itself on the map. Send inquiries to velveteria@earthlink.net

Finally, look out for clowns. Unicorn alert!

We are ready for anything!!
