Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving!

The Indigo Arts website has remained active during the widespread shutdowns due to the COVID-19 virus. Under current rules I have been able to resume operations but still must limit visitors to the gallery, by appointment only. I am monitoring orders and responding to inquiries. I am now able to pack and ship most orders within a few days. Shipping times, particularly by USPS, have increased during this period. Please stay safe!
