A little friendly competition, accolades, growth and more...

'Galleries and Community. You Can't Have One Without the Other' 
by Kelly Holt

We are blushing over here.
Axel's was one of three galleries featured in the most recent Art New England magazine. "Axel's Frame Shop and Gallery is an integral part of the heartbeat of historic downtown Waterbury, Vermont."
 
 It is true that this gallery wouldn't be here without this community and without you. For over 40 years we have faithfully served your picture framing needs and given a voice to our community of artists, artisans, dreamers and makers of all kinds. 
Thank you for for believing in us.  
And thank you Kelly Holt for shining your light in our direction.
