Mostly Barns is the title of Wendy Weldon’s solo show at the Shaw Cramer Gallery opening today with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

Fifty-five summers ago, a small summer camp began in the northern woods of Vineyard Haven not far from Lake Tashmoo. Only two people staffed it then and a small number of children attended, but that first summer paved a path for many more summers to come.
The path led somewhere that is far from traditional, is never ordinary, but that shines brightly nonetheless. That path led to Jabberwocky.
