Marilyn Houlberg Collection | Indigo Arts

I will be away from the gallery from July 28th to August 27th. The website is receiving orders as usual, and I should be able to respond to inquiries within a few days, but orders will not be shipped before August 28th.

The Indigo Arts website has remained active over the last year despite the widespread shutdowns due to the COVID-19 virus. I have been able to resume regular operations. I am able to pack and ship most orders within a few days. Shipping times have increased during this period. The gallery is open to visitors on an appointment only basis. Please phone or email ahead.

Note: USPS service remains very slow. I don't recommend it if you are in a hurry. Parcels sent by 2 or 3 Day Priority Mail may take 2 to 4 weeks to arrive. Pleae note also that USPS shipping estimates include little or no insurance, which we must charge separately.
Please stay safe!
