Artists Unite for Japan

This Sunday, June 5 from 4 to 7 p.m. a group of local artists are gathering to help children in crisis as a result of the tsunami in Japan. The artists include Mark Zeender, Hiroko Thomson, Carrie Mae Smith, Elizabeth Cecil, Jocelyn Filley, Meg Bodnar and Greg Watson. Well, most are local. Hiroko doesn’t live here, but she’s a grandmother to locals which means her Island roots are not just deep but most likely spreading good vibes down at the playground as we speak.

The benefit art show takes place at 151 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven and is sponsored by 151 Beach Road LLC. Four of the artists are painters and three are photographers. At least 30 per cent of all sales will go to the Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund.

Beer and wine will be served.
