Art and the impact of the pandemic on the art world

In 1915, Dorothy and Ralph Crawford established The Studio Shop, which is now the oldest retail business in Burlingame. In 1955 John and Martha Benson purchased  The Studio Shop from the Crawford's niece. Since 1955 the Benson family has been Burlingame's favorite art gallery and picture framing business. In 1989, John and Martha's daughter, Janet, and her husband Carl Martin took over the reins of the business. Janet's sister, Kristen worked at the gallery for years and retired a few years ago.

 The Studio Shop is proud and grateful to be part of a wonderful community and feels strongly that it is important to give something back.

Janet will discuss the impact the pandemic has had on the art world and the importance of art in one's home and place of business.
