Pilot John Levinson said the first time he took painter Kara Taylor up in his single-engine Mooney Acclaim she didn’t say a word. “She was transfixed,” he says of her response to viewing the Island’s contours at 1,200 feet.

The Vineyard has long been a haven for artists. Heading into Memorial Day weekend, art gallery doors will be thrown open for the season, with paintings, sculpture, ceramics and other objects ready to meet their public. Most of the season’s formal shows await June or July start dates, but a handful of galleries have lined up events for this coming holiday weekend.
Eisenhauer Anniversary
The Eisenhauer Gallery invites the Vineyard to celebrate a decade of connecting artists with Islanders with a 10th annual Memorial Day exhibition. Free and open to the public, the Saturday evening opening reception runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and will feature work by gallery favorite Tjasa Owen, as well as from landscape painters Joshua Smith, Peter Roux and Petria Mitchell, all three of whom are making their Eisenhauer Gallery debut.
