Fall into the Islands for your Color Fix!

It is beautiful here.  In Vermont and especially in the Champlain Islands.  The water is a steely blue with flames of yellow, orange and red surrounding it.  The water birds are everywhere – egrets, Great Blue Herons, eagles and lots of different duck species.  You can feel the crispness of the air combined with steady sunshine.  As a bonus our apples are at peak right now, too.

A trip to Grand Isle Art Works is a great excuse to slow down and see the islands at their best, then follow it up with Vermont artwork at it’s best!  Come explore our colors!  Open Tuesday – Sunday, 11-5pm.

Grand Isle Art Works (GIAW) is offering you the opportunity to set up a POP UP SHOW on the gallery property.  We can easily have up to 6-10 booths (10×10) socially distanced for COVID 19. Tents will need to be at least 10 feet apart.  We will be following the State guidelines.  We will have multiple spots planned out for the top of the hill.  

As a POP UP artist, the cost is $20 for a single day with 10% of sales going to GIAW at the end of the day. Sign up for multiple dates and the fee is $15 per date plus 10% to GIAW. Daily fees must be prepaid to hold your place and are non-refundable. You can register your interest by filling out this short GIAW POP UP SHOWs, 2021 survey.

You will be responsible for advertising your POP UP to your client base and supplying GIAW with an “ad” that we can use to advertise on the island and on social media GIAW will provide advertising on the islands, Burlington, and on social media.  GIAW can provide credit card processing for you at an additional 8% cost on the sale.  The hours for each POP UP SHOW are 11-5:00 pm.  POP UP Show information will be updated at: http://grandisleartworks.com/artist-pop-ups/vendor-pop-up-info/

Choose from these dates for your POP UP SHOW (pick at least 1).  Only dates that are fully subscribed with at least 5 artists will move forward.  Do check off all those dates that could work for you.  We will confirm with you before the actual dates go public.

We hope you will consider this opportunity to sell your art work.  This setup should work in a COVID or COVID-FREE world!

There will be a special artist Pop-Up event at the Grand Isle Art Works gallery on September 26, 10-4 pm.  Michelle Turbide, who paints using acrylics, will be set up under her canopy, displaying and selling her colorful paintings featuring barns, crows and landscapes.  Jim Holzschuh, and his wood lathe, will be set up creating wood turned objects and giving demos.  The gallery will be open and you will receive a 10% discount on one item when you purchase something created by one of the more than 70 Vermont artists having work in the gallery.

Another Pop-Up event will be held on October 3rd (from 10:00 to 4:00 at the gallery) featuring Jim Holzschuh and Courtney Reckord with her topographical jewelry.  Images of her jewelry depict mountains in the Green Mountain range as well as the shapes of Vermont lakes.  You can wear a bit of Vermont landscape by purchasing one of her pairs of earrings or a pendant.   Hilarie Mitchell, will set up a third popup canopy and will be bringing her wonderful macarons to tempt your taste buds.  Watch for a menu of goodies, soon!

 

Mark your calendars for these two events!
