From the Feb. 5, 1954 edition of the Vineyard Gazette:

Manuel Swartz Roberts’ famous boatbuilding shop, in Edgartown, is in the process of being sold.

Starting with an exhibition on Sunday, Sept. 3, the Old Sculpin Gallery in Edgartown is celebrating the en plein air style.

Mr. Reade, Ms. Shane, Eva Cincotta and Janis Langley share space at the Old Sculpin Gallery, with art from watercolor to oils to pastels, always with a nod to the Island.

The Old Sculpin Gallery is presenting its student scholarship winners show on Sunday, June 18.

It’s nowhere near Halloween, and yet 16 masks took shape in the Old Sculpin Gallery in Edgartown on Friday. Children’s art classes have been an integral part of this gallery since its inception in 1954. The Old Sculpin is a nonprofit organization maintained by Martha’s Vineyard Art Association Inc. The building, which originally housed the boat building shed for the late Manuel Swartz Roberts, was bought by the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust two years ago.

The gallery holds an array of art classes for children, teens and adults.

When in Edgartown, we invite you to take a walk along Dock street to the northern end. There beside you is a tall grey building. Look up and up and see how it reaches into the sky with cathedral dignity. It has a tower on the front, as does any proper cathedral, and also many windows on the long sides. Farther up are rows of skylights like the clerestory in a Gothic medieval church, but our skylights leak. High in the peaks are two round windows, the glass pink with age, so it boasts two rose windows as well.
