Looking for a gift for someone special? The VSA Wisconsin gift shop features the work of artists with disabilities and is stocked with a variety of unique items, including mugs, batik napkins, greeting cards, t-shirts, hand-carved duck decoys and much more. Proceeds from the sale of these items are used to support a variety of arts programs conducted by
VSA Wisconsin.
Check out the blown glass Christmas ornaments, wine stoppers and miniature glass paperweights created by Jon Wos. Browse through the shop and discover notecards featuring images of mosaic murals created during VSA Wisconsin artist residences and t-shirts featuring images by Joe Arts.
A limited supply of holiday note cards and ceramic mugs featuring the artwork of local artist Robert Hanneman are also available. And don’t forget to take a look at the popular “Boonduck” decoys created by Dan Sullivan. Each decoy is hand carved out of barn timbers, fence posts, pier pilings and other weathered wood using antique rasps, rifflers, chisels, saws and other hand tools.
The gift shop is open Monday‒Thursday, 9 am‒4 pm or by appointment, at 1709 Aberg Ave. For more information, visit http://vsawis.org/exhibitions_sales/art_for_sale/.
