Silver Linings is the theme for the next community art show at Featherstone Center for the Arts, opening April 5. The Art of Flowers follows in May.
Bill Buckley Art Show
Vineyard Views, an art show by Edgartown painter Bill Buckley, opens at the Chilmark Public Library on Saturday, May 1, with a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. All are welcome.
The show includes paintings of familiar Island scenes, most in acrylic on canvas in vibrant colors.
This weekend, Pathways Projects, now at the tail end of their winter residence at the Chilmark Tavern off South Road (next to the Chilmark Store), adds some movement to their current exhibition, Forms and Visions.
The premiere of videography by Pathways’ fellows Enid Haller, Diana Gilmore and Kathy Rose, focused on the theme of coastal change, starts on Saturday, April 17, at 6 p.m., with a second screening at the same time on Sunday.
Gallery Closure
The Belushi Pisano Gallery, established in 2005, will be closing its doors. The gallery started in Vineyard Haven and was opened by Jessica Pisano, Judy Belushi Pisano and Victor Pisano. They represented over 35 talented local and regional artists. After more than four years and two different locations, they made the difficult decision to close.
This month, the Island’s premiere food magazine, Edible Vineyard, celebrates its one-year anniversary by teaming up with Featherstone Center for the Arts for an exhibition, titled The Art of Food. The show features work by over ten Island artists, ranging from photography to food-themed painted rocks by Cammie Naylor to Nina Carelli’s food-inspired etchings.
Less than 10 years ago, a high school photography class involved loading cameras, fussing with myriad settings and working with chemicals in the darkroom. Today photography has been democratized by technology, and most students already carry a camera around with them all day, whether it’s on their cellphone or iPod. And without having to be concerned with the cost of film, taking pictures has never been easier, cheaper or more accessible.
The product of a global collaboration will be on display at the Virginia Weston Besse Gallery at Featherstone this Sunday, March 28. One Day in the Life is a documentary photography and writing exhibit that involves students from more than thirty countries around the world, including several at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.
