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!

Words for 2020!

At the start of a new year, folks often consider making a resolution to start the year off right.  Often these resolutions drop by the wayside. What if instead of a full blown resolution, we chose a word to keep by our side to guide us through our many decisions in the year 2020.  Imagine a word like DREAM and how that could help support your thinking as the year goes on about the climate, your art work or your activity in your community.

This year, Grand Isle Art Works invites you to consider what your WORD for 2020 will be.  As an artist, your job will be to create the essence of this word as it means to you to be displayed in the gallery over the spring / summer.  GIAW will host a gallery show and silent auction to benefit several non-profits. Choose one of our favorites or designate your own cause.
