Dear P:
As many as 100 ceramic works of art were heated in the Featherstone Center for the Arts’s kiln over the past week. After days of cooling, the works came out into the daylight yesterday for display at the Oak Bluffs gallery.
Scott Campbell, art teacher at the regional high school, orchestrated the 12th annual kiln firing.
He and some 40 students set the fire on Wednesday, May 28, and kept it burning day and night into the weekend to achieve the necessary temperature of 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Enjoy a beloved children’s fantasy Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, presented by the Martha’s Vineyard School of Ballet today, June 6, at 7 p.m. at the Edgartown School.
The cast of this Snow White production features children from the Martha’s Vineyard School of Ballet under the artistic direction of Beth Vages. Tickets are $10 at the door.
The chorus was catchy, the kind that easily got stuck in your head: “When the sparks turn to flames, it’s time to play the blame game.”
The beat was almost inspirational, symphonic samples over a kick and a snare.
“Yo, who’s them four MCs with the same name?” rapped Robert (Bubba) Brown, Matt Lucier and Andrew Larsen, all seniors at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, together with their friend Henry Peacor from Colorado College.
Nancy Noble Gardner calls her solo photography show opening this weekend at Featherstone Center for the Arts an honor: “I‘m excited by the total freedom I was given, and I chose photographs which are most significant to me, creating a retrospective.”
The opening reception for this exhibition will be on Sunday, June 8, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the gallery on Barnes Road near the blinker in Oak Bluffs.
Edwina Rissland Show
All are welcome at an artist’s reception today, June 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Bank of Martha’s Vineyard on South Road in Chilmark, celebrating an exhibition of fine art photography by Edwina Rissland titled Abstract Realism: Pursuit of color and form. The art works depict scenes around the Vineyard as well as Bologna, Tokyo and Oxford.
The show continues during bank hours until June 13.
