To Our Beloved Community,
It is with our hearts heavy that we have decided it was necessary to close our doors permanently at North Common Arts & Cafe. It has been an honor and a joy to offer a place where our community can gather to celebrate music, fine art and craft, literary events, and food created with locally-sourced ingredients.
These are uncertain times and it was difficult to see a path forward within our intimate space.
We would like to thank the many supporters of this endeavor; the extraordinarily talented artists, artisans, musicians, writers and the folks who came out to enjoy what was offered. We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to our local partners, farms, and vendors, who not only made thoughtfully-crafted food, drink, and ingredients accessible, but also lent so much support and encouragement throughout the life of our business. It was truly a shared labor of love, made possible because of the efforts of so many.
It is our hope to continue to host The Chelsea Arts on the Green Market & Festival- This year it is scheduled, again, for Labor Day weekend and we will make announcements as we understand what our options will be.
In addition, The Chelsea Community Barn Quilt Project has continued to grow and thrive as individuals and groups are reaching out within and beyond our valley. It is our hope that a new map and trail of all of the Barn Quilts will be created this summer.
It may be a difficult time forcing us to make difficult decisions, but we would like to offer a positive note of hope for the future and our beloved community space.
Taylor Katz and Misha Johnson, the owners of Free Verse Farm & Apothecary in Chelsea, will be renting the former NCA space to use as their apothecary, where they will create, package, and ship out all of their value-added herbal products. As of right now, they will not be open to the public, but that may change in the future.

HEALTHY COMMUNITY UPDATES:
3/12
Due to increasing health concerns and the risks involved with hosting groups in our intimate listening room, we have decided to cancel this weekend's Second Saturday event (MARCH 14th).
This decision was not made lightly, but we will continue to strive to provide safe and enjoyable arts events in the future.
Tickets purchased online will be refunded. Please feel free to email us with any questions you may have, chelseaartscollective@gmail.com
3/13
We have been closely monitoring the latest updates and recommendations from national and state health agencies. As a community-minded business, the health and wellness of our patrons are very important to us at North Common Arts & Cafe. With great pride and pleasure, we recognize the role we serve in our community (as a gathering place) and therefore we feel a responsibility to our community members to make proactive and rational decisions around whether we serve food & beverages and host events during this time of uncertainty. We can assure you that we will not be taking any unnecessary risks and we will be taking all precautions seriously. We may be a small business, but the livelihood and health of our committed staff and loyal patrons are by far more important.
At this time, we will keep you informed on a week to week/ day by day basis as we learn more, and as we make decisions regarding whether to operate, open and serve the public.
Please note, we have not yet made a call on the next Art Walk we have scheduled (March 27th- Opening Reception of Linda Schneider). We will make that decision at the end of next week. Stay tuned and be well!
