Art
A trunk show of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces will be held this weekend at Bryn Walker of Edgartown. The show includes Cerca Trova Jewels (Cerca Trova means “seek and you shall find” in Italian), a line of handcrafted jewelry by Marie Fiedrich of Edgartown and Carlisle. Zen Bijou, a collection of handmade silk flowers, pearls and sea glass by Annie Smith of Carlisle, is also part of the show. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, August 14, and Sunday, August 15, at the Kelley street store.
Center for Pizza Eating
Martha’s Vineyard’s Flatbread Company is different from other pizzerias in two ways: first, the restaurant uses locally grown organic ingredients, and second, it holds a benefit night every Tuesday, when the restaurant donates $3.50 for every flatbread sold between 5 and 10 p.m. to a local nonprofit organization. Tuesday, August 24, the proceeds will benefit the Martha’s Vineyard Center for Living.
Flatbread is located at Nectar’s at the Martha’s Vineyard Airport.
Five years ago, on August 29, 2005, America watched in horror and frustration as New Orleans drowned. Images of suffering and loss remain in our collective psyches today, but many of the sensational events that took place during the rebuilding process were not adequately sensationalist to dominate the media. Filmmaker Katherine Cecil’s new documentary, Race, however, follows the key players and expert commentators in the race for mayor of New Orleans only seven months after Katrina. Screening today at 6 p.m.
Olga is in the henhouse and that’s something to crow about. This Sunday, Ms. Hirshhorn once again curates the annual Chicken Alley Art and Collectibles sale and does a lot more than dustup a few feathers. Art gallery, vintage clothing shop, delectable collectibles, hey now, is this Lagoon Pond or Montparnasse?
Self-taught Nova Scotia artist John Neville will have his fifth exhibition at the Carol Craven Gallery, now in West Tisbury.
Bon Voyage BravEncore
After 18 months of planning, rehearsing and fundraising, the BravEncore Theatre Troupe departs the Vineyard on Saturday to perform their original musical play at the Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland. Islanders are invited to join a bagpiper in sending off the student thespians departing on the 3:45 p.m. ferry out of Oak Bluffs.
The troupe will perform Secret of the Seven Sisters (book by Kate Murray, music and lyrics by Kate Murray and Jake Estabrook) from August 20 to 23 at a theatre in Edinburgh.
