In its grassy hollow across the street from Alley's General Store in downtown West Tisbury, the Field Gallery has gone from oddity to up-Island institution, from a curiosity to a lively landmark of the Vineyard arts scene.

It's hard to imagine a time before the Field Gallery rested at the friendly center of West Tisbury with Tom Maley's white sculptures dancing joyfully on its lawns.
