“By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again.”
-Neil Gaiman
Happy March, subscribers! We hope this email finds you well (and above snow levels)!
We're feeling the pull of spring like never before, with a whole bunch of new things happening here at Giclée. Before we dive into the new services and offerings, we'd like to put a spotlight on our chosen artist of the month- Ethan Abitz! Ethan is a creative travel photographer, particularly skilled in capturing the beautiful scenes of local and faraway lands in both digital and film formats. Ethan's been printing with us for over a year, creating large sized giclées of his images, some we're fortunate to have in our shop for sale and admiration. Find the gold at the end of the rainbow right here in Palmer and see his work in person!
You can follow along on Ethan's creative adventures on Instagram:

March Mat-ness
Springtime Call For Art! (Yes, Again!)
Scan Your Film With Us!
ATTN film shooters: film/negative scanning is here! We recently added a new member to our device family, and it's a film scanner. As a couple of film photographers ourselves, this is something we've been wanting to do for a while and we are so thrilled to announce this new service that we hope others will appreciate too! Bring in your old film negatives and get high quality scans done right here in house with us. We'll make sure they look just as good as if they were our own. You can find more info on our website, just click here!

If you're looking to kick off your spring season decor with a pop of color, look no further than our pre-cut mat selection! All pre-cut mats are 50% off for the month of March. We have sizes ready to fit 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14 frames and will be continuing to add to the stock all month long. These range in style from clean whites to color cores, velvet to woven textures, and beyond.
Call For Art: Spring Gallery
We're looking to collaborate with local artists who'd like to have their work in our space here at Giclée! We don't have a particular subject or theme of focus at this time, but with spring being on our minds, we do hope that if you're an artist infatuated with all things floral, ethereal, and lighter elements, that you get in touch with us! We have a lot of beautiful space here that faces a busy parking lot all day- come hang your art for the spring season and let it shine for folks to enjoy.
*Our only request is submitted pieces be ready to hang via wire.
(We're able to help with this if your art is on stretched canvas!)
Interested participants may email us, or respond directly to this email with sample images of their artwork. Don't forget to share with your art friends!

An art prompt is a great way to break free from a creative block. Prompts can often be a single word, lighting a spark for other creative ideas. In every monthly newsletter, we'll include a fresh calendar full of daily art prompts for our creative subscribers who could use a nudge of inspiration. We'd love to see what you come up with, so make sure to tag us on the socials if you share your art!
