I would like to discuss post pandemic challenges for small business.

The psychological effects of social isolation and healthcare shaming have taken their toll at all levels of community. In February I opened a new business in downtown Saratoga. My business is an Art Gallery and my working studio. I also offer creative evening events for adults...not to be confused with "adult events". The events I offer are nice alternatives for a unique date night, just friends, or singles. They are social engagements that aim to foster creativity and community without the pretense of a teacher/student dynamic or therapy. Can we discuss fostering a sense of compassionate and creative humanity while also promoting local commerce in a post pandemic world? Humans have a need for human interaction to remain healthy.

    This particular discussion topic is for items and issues related to California Local only, like feature requests, questions about our organization, etc.

    There are several businees related forums on Facebook and Reddit which are better suited for this and have a wider audience who will be happy to chime in.

    I'm going to close this thread as it's off-topic.
