Photo Contest
Who you calling an amateur photographer? Time to step it up and show the pros, not to mention naysayer uncle Joe, that your photos have game.
It’s the annual Martha’s Vineyard Magazine photo contest, a chance for professionals, almost pros, and even young Trudy (can you believe she’s 16 already?) to strut their stuff.
After the Turkey, Potluck and a Jam
There is Thanksgiving. You stuff yourself and then, for a moment, decide never to eat again. But just as quickly the feeling passes. You are no longer a bursting beach ball, but rather a ravenous bear, ready for more.
You creep to the fridge, under the cover of night, only to discover that Uncle Tully and Aunt Midge, who, let’s face it, really are bears, have eaten all the leftovers, right down to the moldy candied yams and Sugar Pops cereal you hid behind the spice rack.
Old Sculpin Opens
The Old Sculpin Gallery will be open for a brief show of artwork by Nina Gomez Gordon on Nov. 25 and 26 from noon to 5 p.m. On view will be paintings spanning over 17 years, including abstracts, figure studies from life, and landscapes, many works never before exhibited. Ms. Gordon earned a BA in Fine Art from Bowdoin College, and also attended Maine College of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for painting and sculpture. She currently publishes the Vineyard Fine Art Directory.
For Fairies and Trolls
This holiday season it’s time to think about the fairies. After all, come the cold winter months they certainly need homes, not to mention another warm log on the fire. Think how long you’d survive in a skimpy tutu and wings.
Don’t forget the trolls, either. They may be ugly but they’re not all bad. Especially the little ones.
Holiday Sale for Haiti
Peacecraft Holiday Benefit Sale begins today and continues through Dec. 24 from noon to 5 p.m. daily. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the international handmade crafts and gifts benefits the poor and needy of Haiti and other countries.
The holiday pop-up store is located at 13 Beach Road Extension in Vineyard Haven across from Black Dog Tavern near the harbor.
For more information visit fishfarmhaiti.org. To volunteer this season, call Meg at 508-687-9709.
C lose your eyes and you’ll think you’re at Carnegie Hall. Open your wallet and you’ll find you’re still solvent.
