A Giclee in the art word is referring to a piece of art printed from a digital source using ink-jet printing. Giclees are a better type of reproduction than many other methods, offering the top-notch quality of the image in vibrant colors available on many different mediums of paper from canvas to photo-paper. According to the rotating information on Gallery Exhibits there are two particular places where giclees can be found.

The first is at The Hearts Desire on 1221 12th St. W., Brandenton. Where there is work by Rita Van Gorder. She has done island-printed fabric and giclees. The hours of this particular place are 11am to 4 pm from Thursday to Saturday. More information is available at their website www.heartsdesirefl.com or by calling them at 302-1069.

Another one mentioned was Victoria B. Cooley Studio/ Gallery. Here you can find original oils, watercolors and giclee prints on display. The hours for this gallery are 11 am to 4 pm Tuesday through Friday or noon to 4 pm on Saturdays. More information can be found for them by calling 374-1988.

Though not giclees are not mentioned to be present at Bits & Pieces (1303 13th Ave W, Village of the Arts, Bradenton) as a shop with original art it might be likely to find some giclees prints. Find a great art gift there in form of a wonderfully printed giclee. Gallery hours are from 11am to 4pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
