Art in a Time Like This – COVID 19
Artists are exceptional people. They have the ability to channel their happiness, anxiety, or just plain quirkiness in to art. This past year has been no exception. Join us at Grand Isle Art Works for our Art in a Time Like This Show featuring many Vermont artists.
Summer POP UPS!!
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.
July 17, 18, 24, 25, 31
August 1, 7, 8
We hope you will consider this opportunity to sell your art work. This setup should work in a COVID or COVID-FREE world!

Sunshine
I love the sunshine of early spring. It is brighter and more direct somehow. Even with the cold temperatures it warms me up and makes me smile! Spring is coming soon. And with it so many great things…more daylight in the afternoon…more Vermonters being vaccinated…more energy to do all those things I meant to do during COVID (when I had the time).
The gallery is full to bursting with the wonderful art work of over 70 Vermont artists. The bunnies above are by gallery artist, Sarah Rosedahl. We welcomed back Randy Henson, carver of wooden spoons and Ann Joppe-Mercure creator of “Written in Stone” hand made books just this week!
Current Hours: Thursday – Sunday, 11-5:00 pm.
A Winter Respite
GIAW is just beginning our annual winter respite. We close the shop, to clean, count inventory and rehang the gallery. Don’t worry if you have a gift giving emergency, we are right around the corner and can be there in 20 minutes or so! Call Jim at 802-734-7448.
We will reopen on Thursday, January 21 from 11-4 pm. Our winter hours will be Thursday – Sunday, 11-4 pm.
