OPEN FLIGHT STUDIO HISTORY MARTHA NISHITANI HISTORYDear beloved Open Flight Community,
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the TEMPORARY closure of Open Flight Studio due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
This decision is not made lightly; we recognize the importance of creative space to all of you. However we also acknowledge that it is in the best interest of our community's health and future well-being that we take this drastic step. And while this is heartbreaking to us and potentially devastating as an artist run business, we believe that it is the responsible and correct choice given the unprecedented situation. We truly value our community and look forward to reopening our collective creative home as soon as things may normalize. We hope that those of you who are able to, can stay home and that we may all find inner spaces for creativity and kindness to ourselves and each other.
In community and with best wishes,
The Open Flight Team
(Aiko, Alice, Amelia, and Tamin)
