Nestled in a vibrant community of the Twin Cities, The Grand Hand Gallery is more than just an art space; it’s a celebration of fine American craft that showcases the incredible talents from Minnesota and the upper Midwest.
Owned by the passionate married couple, Jim Jacobson and Rachael Hartzler, Grand Hand offers a carefully curated selection of mediums that include exquisite paintings, stunning pottery, intricate glasswork, innovative printmaking and an array of other creative expressions. Whether a customer is a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the art scene, they’re bound to find something that speaks to their heart in this inviting space.
This February, excitement is building as Grand Hand prepares for its much-anticipated Resale Event, now in its third year!
Running from January 13 through February 27, this event invites members of the community to bring in their well-maintained art pieces for consignment. If one has purchased artwork or crafts from Grand Hand in the past—or if they have pieces from regional artists—this is the chance to breathe new life into those treasured items. As Jim notes, “We’re dedicated to providing a venue for reselling quality, well-cared-for artwork,” and this year, the event also embraces jewelry as a new, exciting medium.
During the resale, interested sellers can submit details about their artwork for review by Grand Hand’s knowledgeable staff. Once accepted, artists and owners will negotiate a fair price, and the pieces will be placed on display in approximately one-third of the gallery space.
Last year's event yielded remarkable results, as the community rallied around this unique opportunity to repurpose beloved artworks while supporting local artists. This year, the inclusion of a jewelry segment has already shown promise, with past trials indicating a high demand and rapid sales. As Rachael shares, “Many customers were asking to sell their jewelry, and when we saw how well that turned out during a previous occasion, we knew it had to be a part of this year’s sale.”
Beyond the resale offerings, Grand Hand is a hub for art lovers and a resource for those looking to refresh their collections or simply appreciate the talent present in their own backyard. The gallery isn't just about buying and selling; it’s about reconnecting art with community and ensuring that every piece has the chance to be cherished again.
