Garden Tea Party

Featherstone Center for the Arts is going big this weekend with two events.

On Saturday, May 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. they are hosting the third annual Garden Tea Party and Fashion Show. The event takes place outdoors under the tent and seating will be done at tables of eight. Check out the spring fashions while sipping tea, pinkie up or down is fine, and enjoying the beauty of the Featherstone grounds. The cost is $40 per person.

On Sunday, May 13, beginning at 4 p.m., the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center is hosting the Composer-Performer-Repertory Ensemble, also known as CPR. It’s an unwieldy name, but the acronym, suggesting a life-saving antidote, is apt. This group can play.

The ensemble is comprised of Matthew Woodard on violin and viola, Nicholas Davies on clarinet, Lev Mamuya on cello, Christopher Staknys on piano and was recently founded by its director, Howard Frazin, at the New England Conservatory.

Night of the Heron

Last year, the Night Heron Gallery opened at 58 Main street in Vineyard Haven as a cooperative gallery. This Saturday, the gallery again opens its doors with a reception featuring two of its newest members, Sylvie Bags and L.A. Brown Photography.

In addition to newcomers, this is a chance to see all of the members work, including ceramics by Washington Ledesma, porcelain by Lisa Strachan, and prints by Nicholas Thayer. There are also numerous watercolors, jewelry, tiles, even sweaters.

The reception is from 5 to 8 p.m.

Say Grace

Traditionally, a 25th anniversary is termed the silver anniversary. This year on the Vineyard, silver gives way to the lobster roll. After all, its the 25th season for Grace Church lobster rolls. In all those years, they’ve never had trouble with returns. Tell that to Macy’s.

Last Friday the season began. Think about it, lobster rolls every Friday from now through September. The lines get long come summer, so now is the time to truly savor the moment

Evening Under the Stars

The Martha’s Vineyard Cancer Support Group, Inc. is holding its annual fundraiser, An Evening Under the Stars, on Thursday, May 17. The event takes place at Lattanzi’s Restaurant in Edgartown from 6 to 9 p.m. There will be hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, beverages, desserts, and music by Mike Benjamin.

The cost is $100 per person.
