Twinkling Ingmar Bergmanesque lights sparkled in the spooky, dark woods of Chilmark. A big bowl of baby tomatoes sat on an outdoor table. Inside the anterior barn space at the Yard, the makeshift stage was adorned with microphones, drums and a hand-waving papier-mâché R2-D2. It seemed everyone and everything was welcome at the Satsang Lounge.

Perhaps the most fruitful painters’ retreat occurred in the fall of 1888 when Vincent van Gogh invited Paul Gauguin to join him in Arles. Gauguin brought a bale of jute which the two artists cut into canvases. The rough-hewn quality of the jute changed the brushstrokes of both the painters and the unique Arles light lives on in their masterworks from that period.

Tisbury School students received an additional lesson in geography and art this week with the weeklong installation of the traveling exhibition Art Beyond Borders on the second floor of their building.
The exhibit is the brainchild of the International Museum of Twenty-First Century Art, and features 24 works of art from 24 different countries. The museum’s goal is to collect one piece of art from every country in the world to serve as an exhibition in itself; so far 63 countries have taken part.
