Amazing Gift Show items

 The selection of gorgeous handmade items from over 40 artists that are already on display here in the store is stunning!

You could go to the box store and buy any number of cheap mass produced items this holiday season...but wouldn't it be much nicer to support local art and get a one-of-a-kind gift for the unique people in your life?

Is Photography ART?

Artists Mediums, is helping to organize an "Is Photography Art" Debate? Maybe three debaters on each team. Maybe something for the dead of winter in the middle of January? Ken Signorello of the Darkroom Photography Gallery plus "The Art in Photography" will organize the pro debate, Who is willing to argue the con side?

Those artists using photos to work from raises another issue. Is a painting made from a projected photo, art or is the photo the art? 

 This raises another question: is a photograph of an art object art? Then, if you really want to make your head spin: is a still life image, made by photography or other medium art or is the assembled object the art? We could really put together a thought provoking program that could be very popular, and may even need to be a series.  I don't think I have seen this sort of thing done in the area.  This could put Williston/Essex on the art map.

I haven't ever tried the Lennox.
But I have loved Stonehenge Paper for a couple of decades.
In all this time, I have seen this fine soft cotton paper used  in printing, Paper cutting, and drawing.
I've even seen it embossed up to 1/4 of an inch thick!

Monoprint on Stonehenge Paper with Grape leaves by Chelsea Lindner

 It is my paper of choice for block printing and Monoprinting.
Personally I am excited to have several new colors available for my next printing project.

Take a good look

Honestly, one reason we are taking so many lovely photos of the store,
is that we are looking to rearrange a few things.
We want to see what works, and make it even easier to find everything you need.
