Vermont Artisan Designs
It’s hard to believe that the summer is half over already!!
As we move into July and the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, Vermont Artisan Designs is featuring the colorful artwork of Alistair McCallum and Robert Steinem along with new pottery from Laceypots. The first Friday Gallery Walk celebration with live music, pop-ups, food trucks, and art openings throughout downtown Brattleboro was held on July 3, the same night that the Vermont Symphony performed their annual holiday concert under the stars just up the road in Grafton.
Brattleboro celebrated the July 4 holiday with a parade through the downtown, a family day at the park and topped it off with a colorful display of fireworks.
Around town, in addition to summer offerings at 14 galleries, the Marlboro Music Festival is celebrating its 75th year with a stellar series of chamber concerts just up the hill and the Yellow Barn Music Festival in Putney is in full swing. And, there’s plenty more.
As mentioned, Alistair McCallum and Robert Steinem share the center stage at the gallery for the month of July.
In August, Gallery Walk at Vermont Artisan Designs features new paintings by Carol Gobin and Hunter Eddy. Gobin’s landscapes of New England are picture-perfect. Eddy’s still life work is realistic and classic.
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.
