Winter Hours
Hi friends!
I recently sat down with my old January datebooks and noticed that I have had to close the ArtFarm during this month due to illness and inclement weather on several occasions in the past.
So I had an idea.
(You can totally play a drumroll here if you’d like)
The ArtFarm’s New & Improved for common sense Hours!
We’re open Thursdays & Fridays 10-4 and Saturdays 10-2!
Just for January. Fret not.
Well, that’s the end of my story. That’s all I’ve got.
I hope you’re having a great evening and have enjoyed the beautiful snowfall we got throughout Central Illinois. I sure did!

Dec. 7 – Christmas Caroling at The ArtFarm
For absolutely no reason except to spread cheer, The ArtFarm will host what we hope will be a MASSIVE group of carolers gathering out front on N. Park Street before the annual Christmas parade, which begins at 5. We will provide sheet music for 8 old-fashioned standards and encourage musicians to come and accompany our voices! As the date draws closer, I will list the songs if you want to brush up! According to the Guinness Book of World Records the record for most people caroling is 1,880 and was accomplished in the town of Portsmouth, Ohio in December if 2018. Let’s see if we can nudge ’em out Decatur!
