You may be wondering why you should vote for us instead of another gallery in our category (all finalists are awesome).

We thought we'd give you some reasons why we're special:

1. Almost all of the work we carry is made by Vermont-based artists (go local!).
2. We sell artwork made by artists living and working in Montpelier. If you're looking for something that showcases the capital of Vermont, we've got you covered (go really local!).
3. When you visit our gallery, odds are good that at some point you'll meet one of our artists in person.
4. We offer a warm, inclusive, and welcoming shopping environment.
5. Our staff rocks! They're knowledgeable, love working here, and are very dedicated.
6. We're dog-friendly and keep copious canine cookies behind the counter.

Bonus: We also love and appreciate visits from babies wearing hats with animal ears on them.

Our warm and knowledgeable staff would love to help you find the perfect gift. From jewelry to pottery, wood bowls to silk scarves, prints to blown glass - we're sure to have something that your mom (or mother figure) will love.

And cards? Yep, we've got 'em. And they're all awesome.

Montpelier Made is a student-run company based at Montpelier High School. Participants design, market, and sell their own handcrafted, high-quality wood products including Adirondack chairs, cutting boards, planters, and benches. The business uses locally-sourced and recycled materials whenever possible and a portion of their profits is donated to local central Vermont charities.
