Grand Isle Art Works

Do you have new artwork that you have created from March 2020 to the present time?

We would love to share it with our gallery patrons!  We can offer it for sale or not, your choice!

The details:

Step 1: Create and submit an artist statement about this new art and what it meant for you to be creating during COVID 19.  Complete the show application survey.

Step 2:  Pick out 1-4 pieces of your new art.  Create a description card for each piece, complete with pricing if you want it to be for sale.  We will use a 70-30% commission rate for all sales during the show.

Step 3: Bring your artwork to the gallery during June 2nd – 6th, 11-5:00 pm.  Call Jim if you need a different time (734-7448).

The birds are singing, the grass is growing, the flowers are blooming — AND the gallery is open 7 days a week 10-4:00 pm! Join our resident “hooker” Lynn on Mondays and Tuesdays. She will amaze you with her hooking skills! Really.  Patrick Leahy was truly amazed!

Come visit with me – Ellen on the other days. I am filling in for Jim as he heals from his recent foot surgery. I am ever-so-hopeful that I will be able to prop him up in the gallery soon! Just sitting is getting pretty old for Jim!

We’d love to show you around the gallery.
