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.

This Contemporary 5 bedroom home is privately sited on 1.47 acres. Its spacious and open floor plan offers a design that is perfect for large families, entertaining, and summer guests. Features include a gourmet kitchen with granite counter-tops and cherry custom cabinets.  There’s a Great Room with dramatic floor to ceiling windows and a lovely fireplace. Both the living area and Great Room open to the bluestone terraced patio with heated Gunite pool, mahogany deck and perennial gardens.

A celebration of artists old and new was held at the Old Sculpin Gallery last Sunday. Teachers, parents and friends honored the three winners of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association Student Scholarship given each year to graduating seniors: Zac Wannamaker, Willoe Maynard and David DaSilva. The gallery was also dedicated to Fred Messersmith, an artist who had a large and personal impact on the MVAA, and was its director for 10 years.

His father is the singer Chronicle, and for awhile he was Little Chronicle. But as he found his own way in the music business, he needed his own name. Enter Chronixx.,

Chronixx and the Zincfence Redemption are playing Dreamland in Oak Bluffs on Thursday at 9 p.m.
