For the Love of Art

<p>To highlight the importance of the West Tisbury Mill Pond through the centuries, the Friends of the Mill Pond and the West Tisbury historic district commission are planning the installation of a marker on a boulder beside the pond.</p> <p>This marker will complement the historic mill building across the Edgartown Road, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now home to the Vineyard Garden Club.</p>

The members of African American Vineyard Artists would like to thank our hosts the Portuguese American Club, as well as the town of Oak Bluffs, the AKAs, the Links, the Deltas, the Cottagers, the Oak Bluffs Polar Bears and all of the Vineyard community that attended and or assisted in making our premier AAVA art exhibition — the first group exhibition of Island African American artists — a rousing success. It was extremely well attended, and the spirit of the love of art and sharing of community overflowed. We are looking forward with great anticipation to our 2017 exhibition. Thanks to all for your support.

Harry Seymour
Oak Bluffs
