When preparing for the opening of an art show, there is so much to carefully consider. Gary Eckhart has hand-picked the twenty-two artists participating in our next show “Visions Oil”, Opening on Wednesday, March 16th. Once all the art arrives at the Gallery, either by delivery or by Gary himself, There is the intentional organization of the placement of each piece and how it will be best viewed and acknowledged. Lots of work happening at the our Festival Gallery! This show will be spectacular!

We had a blast at the Artisans’ Gallery catching up with Lori Klein. Lori is a local artist specializing in one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. She is also one of the original founders of the Artisans’ Gallery, a local shop exclusively featuring Vermont Artists. It was incredible to walk the gallery with her and learn about its history, how it has evolved over the years, and the stories of the Vermont artisans whose handcrafted treasures fill this gorgeous space. What a gift the Artisans’ Gallery is to our community. Thank you for having us, Lori!
