Grand Isle Art Works

Join us for a fun evening!

Reposo…rest in Italian.

Grand Isle Art Works and the kitchen door cafe are just taking a short reposo. We are cleaning, putting together class schedules and even redecorating a bit. Look for our return on Saturday, February 11th. We’ll be there with bells on!

In the meantime – if you need that special gift – Jim or I will be happy to open the gallery by appointment – just give us a call —- 378-4591.

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to all of you!

We will be closed from December 24 to February 11!

Watch for details for our Valentine’s Day Surprise!

We thank you for your continued support as we grow this small business in the most beautiful place of all:  the Champlain Islands!

We have a strange winter visitor here at Grand Isle art Works…

In the midst of all of the frost nipped perennials in our front flower bed, we found this on Saturday!  A confused – but very beautiful hyacinth bulb peeking out of the plant matter strewn about.  I am never one to truly clean out a bed.  Maybe this is a good reason why!  They have protected this bulb from the cold nights.  Is this a sign of things to come???

Today, we have snow!  The ground is covered just enough to slow down the traffic and cause folks to realize winter is finally here.  There is a chill in the air forcing me to think of winter coats, scarves and mittens.  Not to mention a strong desire for heat in my car!

If you are looking for a warm place to visit, drop by the kitchen door cafe for lunch or a cup of coffee.  Browse through the gallery.  We have everything you could ever want!  Our selection of chenille, knitted, and velvet scarves are just right for this weather.  We have casual and fancy.  Hats and mittens, too! Come in and stay a while.  There is free wifi – I think you will find it warm and cozy even on the chilliest of days.

Thanks to all of you who supported our Jump On It Deal!  We are excited by the response and hope each of you will find something special in the gallery – unique, local and all Vermont!

Happy Holidays!

Ellen and Jim

They are here…the quiet days of Fall. They sneak up on you after the hustle and bustle of the summer and the quick pace of foliage season. And then the quiet sets in. You can almost feel people snuggling up in their “blankies” as they await winter!

But, wait – there are places to go, great art to be seen and delicious food to eat! All in one beautiful spot —- Grand Isle Art Works/Kitchen Door Cafe! Jeanne has a pot of soup on, the cafe and gallery smell wonderful! Our newest artists, Fred Snay and Ginger Johnson add to the mix!

Make us your Fall destination. We are open 6 days a week, closed on Mondays. We’ll wrap you up in comfort food and beautiful art work!
