The Martha’s Vineyard Film Society’s second annual Music and Film Festival begins Thursday night with Harold Lloyd’s silent film, Safety Last. The screening will be far from silent, though, as the Silent Film Orchestra from Berklee College of Music will be playing live.

A celebration of artists old and new was held at the Old Sculpin Gallery last Sunday. Teachers, parents and friends honored the three winners of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association Student Scholarship given each year to graduating seniors: Zac Wannamaker, Willoe Maynard and David DaSilva. The gallery was also dedicated to Fred Messersmith, an artist who had a large and personal impact on the MVAA, and was its director for 10 years.

Ten years ago looking for a change of pace, Scott Jones and Kell Hicklin left their suits and ties down south and bought the Lambert’s Cove Inn and Restaurant in West Tisbury.

“Who would’ve thought we’d be bottle feeding goats four times a day?” said Mr. Hicklin. “It’s a long way from the corporate world.”

His father is the singer Chronicle, and for awhile he was Little Chronicle. But as he found his own way in the music business, he needed his own name. Enter Chronixx.,

Chronixx wrote his first song at age 5, and recorded his first single when he was 11. In April he released The Dread and the Terrible Project, and on July 3 he is bringing his reggae world to Martha’s Vineyard. Some say he is the biggest act to come out of Jamaica in decades.

Chronixx and the Zincfence Redemption are playing Dreamland in Oak Bluffs on Thursday at 9 p.m.

Two Oak Bluffs students were winners in an annual student marine art contest.

Everett Dorr, a second grader at Oak Bluffs School, won fifth place in the elementary school category for his Arctic puffin art. Oak Bluffs fourth grader Oliver Dorr won an honorable mention in the scientific/nature illustration category (all grades) for his depiction of a wolffish.
