Shop at Guilford Art Center Reopens With New Merchandise, New Look
“Extreme Makeover” Revealed at Grand Reopening, March 14

The Shop at Guilford Art Center will unveil its “Extreme Makeover” and celebrate its grand reopening on Friday, March 14, 5:30-7:00pm.

Since the January closing of its annual holiday sale, the Shop at the Guilford Art Center has been undergoing an “Extreme Makeover,” with staff and volunteers working feverishly to brainstorm, redesign, and re-stock this specialty retail mecca. The Shop will celebrate its grand reopening with an unveiling of its fresh and vibrant new look, new layout, and new merchandise.

The reincarnated Shop at Guilford Art Center will be filled with never-before-seen merchandise, colorful displays, a spacious layout for browsing, and personal service by art-savvy shop assistants. Gorgeous, handmade objects of the highest quality, created by American artists are what the Shop is all about, including jewelry, pottery, glass, fiber, wood.

“The Shop’s ‘Extreme Makeover’ is built around creating a WOW shopping experience for everyone,” says Jean Perkins, Guilford Art Center Executive Director. “Every item in the shop, because it is made by an artist, tells a story, and we invite people to come and see the richness of all we have here. We’re planning to feature great objects for Connecticut shoreline living and entertaining, an area for grandparents to shop for grandkids, and displays of cause-related, ‘green’ and fair-trade goods. More than ever before, The Shop will be the perfect place along the shoreline for finding unique gifts that delight.”

To kick-off the grand reopening, the Shop will hold a Blow-Out Sale, with selected merchandise at 30% off retail price.

The Shop at Guilford Art Center will open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, noon to 6pm.
