Cold Days, Warm Colors

We are in the midst of quite the cold spell. Temperatures in the single digits with wind gusts dropping them to 20-30 below zero. Everything is covered in white. Time to bundle up and get your color fix at GIAW!
We are open Thursday – Sunday, 11:15-4:30 pm.

Took Jim a while to get our home driveway open so that Christopher could get to the gallery on Friday! COLD! WINDY!

Hello 2022!

Snow is on the ground.  The air is COLD.  Winter is here!

Grand Isle Art Works

We are open once again.

 Our winter hours will be: Thursday – Sunday, 11-4:30 pm.  As always we will add days through the coming months until we are open 7 days per week in June.

Think of GIAW as your warm spot to recharge by soaking in the vibrant colors of our Vermont art work.  We represent over 65+ Vermont artists.

As I look out over our field with all this new snow, it is hard to believe there is a lake out there…somewhere! The lake has been on my mind.  The gallery is surrounded by the lake.  I worry that significant changes are coming to our island landscape.  Between global warming, ground runoff and humans being humans, the lake needs our help.  Folks everywhere need to understand what a great body of water our Lake Champlain is.  It is the 6th great lake in the United States!  No small feat of nature.  It was an inland sea and it still contains the world’s oldest coral beds on Isle LaMotte. In honor of the Lake, I invite you to submit artwork that will bring our lake into real focus for ourselves and our island visitors.  We’d love you to be part of our August Art Show: Lake Champlain: Waves of Change

Consider adding your art to this show.  We had a great turnout for last year’s show, Art in a Time Like This, COVID-19.  Each artist in the show can add approximately 1-4 art pieces, each with a description card as to the artwork’s connection to Lake Champlain. The show will begin August 1st  and will continue throughout the month.  Jim and I hope you will consider taking part. I will send out more specific show information soon.
