Art by Kids Speaks to Kids and More
This Thursday, June 23 at 7 p.m. IMP for Kids, the YMCA dance program and Joanne Cassidy’s vocal students are coming together to present an evening of entertainment and importance entitled Assertions: Kids Speak Out Through the Arts.
One could argue that all art is important, but this performance lends itself to a category all its own.
The Old Sculpin Gallery was full of lively energy and a crowd of people on Sunday. It was the show for the scholarship winners of the Martha’s Vineyard Arts Association.
This year’s winners are Isaac Hurwitz and Kira Shipway; the alternate is Tova Katzman.
Each of the three recent high school graduates presented an impressive array of work, stretching across mediums and subject matters.
Ray Ellis, the haberdasher, out-earned Ray Ellis, the artist, when his necktie fetched $150,000 for the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust at the annual Taste of the Vineyard auction on Saturday night.
Longtime summer visitor Scott Earl, who last year bid $225,000 to take home a Ray Ellis oil painting, bought the artist’s tie right off his neck right after winning the bidding for three watercolors by Mr. Ellis. Mr. Earl spent $90,000 on the three paintings, bidding against summer resident Pat Morgan for the prize as he has for the past two years.
Summer Solstice Party
Can it be the longest day of the year is already upon is? Well, to take the sting out of the idea that the days will now be getting shorter, Featherstone Center for the Arts is throwing a summer solstice celebration from 5 to 9 p.m. tonight, June 21.
The event is hosted by William Waterway and Ellie Bates and is, in their words, “a heliospheric rendering of our solar system.”
Ah, but of course.
The man stabbed last Tuesday in Vineyard Haven died on Saturday at a Boston hospital, the Edgartown district court heard today at a pretrial hearing for Ovando Edghill, who was facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife.
Michael Trusty died Saturday afternoon, Cape and Islands assistant district attorney Laura Marshard said.
Mr. Eghill was represented in court by his attorney Robert Jubinville, who argued that his client had acted in self-defense.
