The Martha's Vineyard Garden Club's annual Blooming Art fundraiser returns this weekend, June 17 — 19.

Bored on Earth? There’s another world to visit this weekend — a planet where the arts are not just a pleasure, but biologically essential to life itself.

The Vineyard’s fine arts scene is warming with the weather, as seasonal galleries open their doors and year-round establishments introduce new artists.

On Sunday at at Featherstone Center for the Arts, artists and community members gathered for the opening reception of Emerge! a scholarship show in honor of Davin Tackabury.

On Saturday evening at sunset artist Carissa Carman will create a temporary art installation on Menemsha Beach, using the sand and the few bits of material she has brought with her from Indiana.

When Davin Tackabury died in 2019, during his senior year at the regional high school, hundreds of people crowded into the Martha's Vineyard Hebrew Center to pay tribute and remember a talented young artist and friend to all.
