It’s hard to believe that it is 2026! January was a quiet month of catching our breath after a busy holiday season. Now it’s February.
Winter seems to be making up for lost time with snow. It makes for some great skiing and snowshoeing when the temperature allows. Several of our artists, including Marc Winnat, Jocelyn Sandor Urban, Gary Shepard and Eric Tobin, have some great paintings for the season that are shown here.
In Brattleboro, it’s time for our 70th Winter Carnival and the 104th Harris Hill Ski Jumping competition which draws participants from around the world. It’s the only Olympic-sized ski jump in New England and allows local visitors to witness in-person some of what will be happening at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
We’re lining up new artists for the year and looking forward to the start of Gallery Walk on the first Friday of May. The work of Debbie Mueller will be featured. She has some wonderful still life paintings as well as landscapes that we’re looking forward to sharing with you.
The monthly Gallery Walk in Brattleboro takes place on the first Friday of each month through October. That includes openings at nearly 20 galleries as well as live music and pop-up entrepreneurs along with food trucks and restaurant specials downtown.
Vermont Artisan Designs is grateful for 50-plus years of service to the American art and craft community and their collectors. In addition to the main floor craft gallery, there are 11 small art galleries around a central gallery on the second level. A variety of activities at the gallery are ongoing.
We invite you to visit when you’re in Brattleboro and to take a look at our website (www.vtart.com) which is continually changing. And, check out vtartisandesigns on Instagram and Vermont Artisan Designs on Facebook.
