Less than a mile apart, the summer shows that opened at the galleries owned by Allen Whiting and Kara Taylor on Sunday night offer a fresh collection from two well-known Vineyard artists.

There’s a new gallery on the scene in Oak Bluffs, the Art Gallery Cooperative.

Four new flat screen televisions hanging in the lobby of the Kelley House showcase Vineyard photography. The Vineyard’s first digital photo gallery features 11 photographers with strong Vineyard ties. Some 200 photos are featured, approximately 20 from each photographer.

One thing becomes clear when talking with 85-year-old painter Marie-Louise Rouff about art and the world: she takes everything in. And what she sees will often find its way onto her canvas.

This season will be owner Nancy Shaw Cramer’s last for her Main street Vineyard Haven gallery, known for its high-end artwork in every medium. But if all goes according to plan, the decision won’t mean the end of art upstairs.

A bit of New Orleans has popped up at 11 North Summer street in Edgartown. The music spilling out onto the sidewalk is the first hint of something different. The artwork takes it from there.

The new gallery displays the work of Chris Roberts-Antieau, a New Orleansbased artist and forward thinker who has decided to set up shop on the Island for the first time with a temporary gallery.
