Joyful Emergence: Join Our Community Art Installation
In commemoration of the past year, the metamorphosis it inspired within each of us, and our
opportunity to emerge back into the world, The 577 Foundation invites you to participate in a
community art installation featuring origami butterflies folded by and for each other.
Click here to learn why we chose the butterfly.
Folding stations are available inside the Log House and Bee Room.
If you'd like to fold at home, pick up an origami-to-go kit for
yourself or your family at the pop-up folding station during any of our Book Fairs (+Pottery).

577’s Phase Reopening Updates - 10/01/2021
577 is a place of joy, wonder, and coming together for each other. We emphasize the
importance of watching out for those around us. The health of 577’s employees, instructors,
volunteers, and visitors guides the decision-making process for our phased re-opening.
We kindly ask that all visitors maintain social distancing outside and everyone
(regardless of vaccination status) MASK UP INSIDE all open buildings. It’s a
continued sign of respect and care for others who may not be able to receive the vaccine.
Given the resurgence of COVID transmission and positivity rates,
we know that COVID is still in our community. We are monitoring these
developments and holding steady at our current state of reopening until further notice.
Please stay vigilant and safe until we've declared Victory Over COVID.
In the meantime, click here to read what is staying the same at 577 (for now).
Thank you for your patience and care! Let’s work together to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Take care,
Heather Gallant
