Hard a lee and coming about for art.

Sail Martha’s Vineyard will transform its offices at the historic Mayhew Schoolhouse on Main street in Vineyard Haven into an art gallery for a seasonal fund-raising sale. The unveiling is this Saturday, Dec. 4 and will continue daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Dec. 22.

To mark the occasion there will be a wine and cheese reception from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 5. There will also be a closing artists’ reception on Saturday, Dec. 18 again from 3 to 6 p.m.

Participating artists include Louisa Gould, Thaw Malin, Ellen McCluskey, Deb and Warren Gaines, Ovid Ward, Jeffrey Serusa, Lisa Brown and numerous other well-known Island artists. A portion of each sale will support the educational and on-the-water programs of Sail Martha’s Vineyard. For more information, call the SMV office at 508-696-7644.
