To celebrate the reopening of her Main street, Vineyard Haven gallery, Louisa Gould is offering free art tomorrow.
Louisa Gould Gallery has been under renovated since a pipe burst of Jan. 2, but it will reopen tomorrow, Saturday, March 7, from noon to 5 p.m. And as a thank you to customers, Ms. Gould is offering a deal that if you purchase one of her photographs at full price you may take home a second piece of original art (of the same or lower price) for free. In addition, Louisa Gould paintings will be offered at a 20 per cent reduction.
Why do we tell stories?
Under the blanket of interminable Vineyard winter, the answer that jumps to mind most readily is claustrophobia; the need to leave our own the immediate situation and rediscover vastness; to escape ourselves for long enough to see our own contours a little bit more clearly.
Film producer, director and Chilmark resident Arnie Reisman will show and discuss his newest film, The Powder & the Glory, at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum this Saturday, March 7. The showing will celebrate the opening of the museum’s new exhibit, Voices of Vineyard Women.
The audience at the Katharine Cornell starts tittering the moment Coleman Conner (Chris Brophy) swaggers onstage. Hips thrust forward, jaw slack, malevolent halfwit eyes groping around the room for something to steal or mangle, he manages to make his trip from the doorway to the liquor cabinet into one continuous promise: we are in for a treat.
Dr. Michael Jacobs will speak on Staying Healthy in the Marine Environment: Managing the Fearsome Five at Sail MV’s third winter dinner/lecture at the Black Dog Tavern on Wednesday, March 11, at 6 p.m.
Dr. Jacobs, a lifelong sailor, is director of Vineyard Medical Services and has been a consultant to yachtsmen, sailors, commercial mariners and the U.S. Coast Guard for more than 30 years. He is the author of numerous papers and teaches medicine for mariners and safety at sea.
A guitar and banjo player, Tony Furtado mixes modern music with the traditional, creating a distinctive sound.
By the age of 19, Mr. Furtado earned himself a reputation as a young banjo prodigy, winning two National Bluegrass Banjo Championships. Despite the press and praise as one of the most promising bluegrass artists, Mr. Furtado decided that one genre wasn’t enough for him. Creatively, he had something more to express. “I don’t think I could ever be happy staying in any one place musically,” he said.
