This is definitely shaping up to be a different kind of spring here in Grand Isle County.  The sun is shining, temperatures are great for sugaring and the song birds are returning.  A beautiful early Vermont spring must be on the horizon.

With it is the deafening sound of silence as we all cordon ourselves off for home isolation in hopes to ward off COVID – 19. The only places that are active currently are the supermarkets and Costco as folks stock up for the long haul.

We feel it in the gallery.  Far fewer visitors are stopping by.  Those that do stop are not purchasing items.  It is very quiet.

As a small business, it matters that GIAW makes enough sales to keep the lights on and to pay our artists who depend on their commissions from us to keep their lights on.  In an attempt to ward off this impending darkness, GIAW is updating its on-line gallery shop.  If you need the perfect gift, we hope you will take a look here.  If you don’t see what you want or need, drop us a line and we will get it to you.  Every purchase will help us to keep the lights on!

Not sure you need anything right now?  How about a gift certificate to use later?  We offer them in most any denomination and they never go bad.  Just want to support a small business in Grand Isle County?  We will gladly accept any support you would like to give.  These gifts are not tax deductible, but we will offer a 10% off coupon for every gift received.
