Eating Is Everywhere Again
The tip jars have fresh pleas (“college tuition,” “ticket to Europe”) in the takeouts. The white aprons are pressed in the posh establishments. We can eat up-Island, we can eat by the sea, and for the moment we can still eat BYOB in Tisbury (by summer’s end, beer may be on tap).
Chefs we welcome with open mouths are teasing us with new menus. Restaurant owners are teasing us with special deals.
Pep Art Grand Opening
Old Sculpin Opening
The Old Sculpin Gallery and Studio School of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association is opening for the season today, May 28, with a group members show as well as an exhibition of selected works from its permanent collection of art made on the Vineyard from 1890 to the present.
For more information please call 508-627-4881 or see online oldsculpingallery.org.
The Vineyard has long been a haven for artists. Heading into Memorial Day weekend, art gallery doors will be thrown open for the season, with paintings, sculpture, ceramics and other objects ready to meet their public. Most of the season’s formal shows await June or July start dates, but a handful of galleries have lined up events for this coming holiday weekend.
Eisenhauer Anniversary
The Eisenhauer Gallery invites the Vineyard to celebrate a decade of connecting artists with Islanders with a 10th annual Memorial Day exhibition. Free and open to the public, the Saturday evening opening reception runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and will feature work by gallery favorite Tjasa Owen, as well as from landscape painters Joshua Smith, Peter Roux and Petria Mitchell, all three of whom are making their Eisenhauer Gallery debut.
