Success!

by Gary Eckhart on May 25, 2009

The Vermont Open Studios Weekend brought more than 80 ‘art lovers’ to our gallery this past weekend offering rave reviews for the new paint job and gallery layout. “A stunning, pristine gallery and studio space showing beautiful work”, “we can’t wait to return and bring our friends” were but two of the accolades.

We want to thank those who purchased work and  appreciate the one individual who offered to allow the purchased piece to remain hanging until a later date so as not to disturb the display.

The new sculpture garden displaying the work of Mark Schwabe is a huge hit (especially the steel and copper pieces which can be touched by the children — and adults!). Lisa and Brent Hilliker’s folk art painting adds a wonderful touch of whimsical color to the gallery and always complements the paintings and photography.

The ‘edible art’ of chocolate macaroons from Mary’s Fine Cakes and Pastries (Warren) briefly occupied gallery space — delicious!

Open Studio Weekend is the official opening of the Moosewalk Studios and Gallery for the summer/fall season. During June we are open weekends (except Saturday, June 27). We are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but are open most other days from noon to 5:00. We do suggest you call (802.583.2224) to verify. Involvement in the planning of the Vermont Festival of the Arts may take us away unexpectedly.
