NEW GALLERY IN TOWN

by Gary Eckhart on November 19, 2009

The Mad River Valley welcomes Bridge Street Boutique to the list of outstanding galleries and studios scattered throughout the Valley. Ten artists and crafts people are bringing together their talent and energy to open this unusual and exciting gallery. Fine art, jewelry, antiques, one of a kind gifts and hand crafted furniture are all very creatively displayed. Gary and Roarke from here at Moosewalk are two of the ten artists. Gary is showing new, original works as well as some of his more popular, framed giclees. Roarke has selected some of his finer silver gelatin prints and printed three new, large format images specifically for the opening.

Bridge Street Boutique, along with The Artisans’ Gallery, is located in one of the older buildings adjacent to the 1833 covered bridge on historic Bridge Street in Waitsfield, Vermont. Two outstanding restaurants, numerous fine shops and several galleries are within walking distance. Hours for the gallery are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm daily.
