Wendy Weldon Retrospective
A retrospective of paintings by Wendy Weldon will be on exhibit from Feb. 28 through April 4 at the Chilmark Public Library.

Paintings from her Shrine series, her Bed and Lamp series and her Personal Memoirs series will be included in the show.
An artist’s reception will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 7 at the library. All are welcome.
To celebrate the reopening of her Main street, Vineyard Haven gallery, Louisa Gould is offering free art tomorrow.

In addition, Louisa Gould paintings will be offered at a 20 per cent reduction.
