The well attended show at Chilmark Community Center Jan. 29 and 30 was a wonderful mix of nostalgia and love for Doug Kent’s work. This was the first time ever that he has had a show that exhibited such a range.

Doug Kent’s paintings and prints are on display through February and March at the West Tisbury Library in the McCullough room, as well as throughout the building. There will be a closing reception March 26 from 4 to 6 p.m.

There will be another show June 29 and 30 at the Grange in West Tisbury that will highlight Mr. Kent’s magnificent drawings.

Raffle tickets are being sold for $100. With each ticket purchased the recipient will receive a signed Giclee print at the time of the raffle drawing and will be in the running to win the original painting. The raffle tickets will continue to be sold until June 15.  The drawing will be held on June 30 at the Grange. Contact Lizzy Kent at 617-830-2435 for raffle ticket information.
