Atria Restaurant is again putting the Vineyard back in Martha’s Vineyard with the return of its wine dinner series
Tanya Augoustinos, former owner of the e’kaya gallery in Vineyard Haven, has opened a new gallery this summer called A Gallery in an empty warehouse located behind the Tisbury Farm Market in Vineyard Haven. It’s a loft-style spacious building, with two large rooms for showing art, Ms. Augoustinos said.
The gallery is having its first opening reception on July 6, from 5 to 8 p.m. Jeremy Wagner will present works on steel panel and Jennifer Delilah will present her oils and works on paper.
Before the rollicking promenade of floats and the bursting of fireworks across Edgartown Harbor, Vineyard Haven will be ringing in the Fourth in a gentler fashion.
At 2 p.m. tomorrow, folks up and down Main Street will ring hand bells, cowbells, tea bells, sleigh bells or whatever bell is handy to celebrate Independence Day. The gesture represents an attempt to resurrect a tradition begun in accordance with the U.S. Senate Concurrent Resolution 25 passed by Congress in June 1963.
Great music accompanies great pizza when singer/songwriter Scott Kirby comes to the Vineyard to play at Flatbread Pizza on July 5 and 6, both shows beginning at 9 p.m.
Arts Crawl
The Arts District on Dukes County avenue in Oak Bluffs invites everyone to crawl with them evert Thursday evenings in July. All the galleries will stay open late for lingering over art with the artists, gallery owners and friends.
First evening crawl is this Thursday, July 5.
Writers are everywhere, often hiding in plain sight. They’re under umbrellas in Oregon. They sit in the sweltering Georgia sun. They live across the ocean and in different continents. They are also on the Vineyard, and in greater number from July 15 to 20, thanks to the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing, which is about to begin its third year as a haven for developing writers.
