Mitchell • Giddings Fine Arts celebrates its 10th anniversary with Decade: 2014 – 2024, a gallery-wide exploration of printmaking, opening 5-7 pm, Saturday, October 26, and running through January 5, 2025.
Artist prints have been a notable and consistent interest of the gallery. Printmakers blend equipment, skills and vision to create a story greater than the voice of a single person. Exhibiting artists include Matt Brown, Liz Chalfin, Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Eric Fischl, Stephen Hannock, Wolf Kahn, Emily Mason, Jules Olitski, James Stroud, Dan Welden, and others.
Professional artists themselves, owners Petria Mitchell and Jim Giddings carry broad knowledge and insight into the world of artmaking and galleries. They have been steeped in the New England regional arts scene for almost five decades and the creation of a fine art gallery provided an ideal opportunity to share conversation among artists, collectors and lovers of the visible creative act. Since its gala premiere a decade ago, MGFA has introduced artwork by more than 100 artists from Maine to Hawaii and curated over 80 group and solo exhibits. “… Brattleboro has never had a gallery like Mitchell • Giddings Fine Arts. That is, a large commercial gallery with plenty of wall and floor space to show the kind of large-scale work favored by so many artists today.” (Arlene Distler, ArtScope).
