Jauron-Rogers describes her store as an ideal
place for part-time local artists to display their
creations.
“This is their creative outlet — it’s their break
from their kids, their break from carpools. It’s
something that they’re doing for themselves,
so I think it’s really cool to have a space where
somebody can show me something interesting
and I can say ‘Sure, I’ll find a space for it,’”
Jauron-Rogers said.
The store features a different coastal theme
each season, with winter’s “Coastal Whites”
debuting last December. “Coastal Greens” and
“Coastal Yellows” are slated to follow suit in the
spring and summer, respectively. The store’s fall
exhibit, “Coastal Blues,” was its inaugural theme
when it opened last fall.
Jauron-Rogers said the community component
of Coastal Collective is on display when visitors
recognize other people’s creations.
“The amount of people that I know in the
town or who grew up in town or have children in
the schools, people will just walk around the store
and they’ll say, ‘Oh, this is Sandra’s stuff,’ or ‘This
is Terry.’ All the time, I see people recognize their
neighbors’ work and it’s just really fun,”
Jauron-Rogers said.
