The renowned Vineyard painter Allen Whiting set up his easel Saturday at Featherstone Center for the Arts alongside 12 youngters, aged three to 10.

The idea for The Workshop was born over dinner in September. Artists Dan VanLandingham, Lauren Coggins-Tuttle, Terry Crimmen and Tara Kenny were planning to rent a space together next spring but when a building became available on the Vineyard Haven waterfront, they leaped at it, paintbrushes at the ready.

They say you can’t put a price on art, but if sales are strong this season a limited edition photograph could defray the high cost of saving an Island landmark. Jeffrey Serusa, owner of the Seaworthy Gallery in Vineyard Haven, says he will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of Gay Head Lighthouse at Night to the Save the Gay Head Lighthouse Committee.

Fern and Feather Camp at Felix Neck celebrates its 50th anniversary next year and to begin the party they are looking for a new logo design for the camp.

Alison Shaw Photography will be offering a six-month mentorship program, Sharpen Your Focus: Taking your Work to the Next Level starting in mid-November. Ms. Shaw has been teaching week-long photo workshops on the Island for more than 20 years.

A new offering, the mentorship is designed to provide a long-term, more intensive experience for students wanting to take the next step with their photography.

Historic toys and games are chronicled in the Martha’s Vineyard Museum’s new exhibit, Toys.
