On Saturday, Stillpoint in West Tisbury will host screening of Cabin Music and a concert by the subject of the film, James Carson, and local musician and piano technician David Stanwood.

The new West Tisbury nonprofit hopes to foster deeper connections among Islanders from every background through classes, talks and face-to-face conversations.

More than a year after its plan was first proposed, the non-profit known as Stillpoint won final approval to create an educational event space nestled amongst conservation lands in West Tisbury.

Stillpoint envisions using the existing barn on the seven acres of land off Stillpoint Meadows Road for classes, group discussions and other events.

Led by Thomas Bena, founder and former director of the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival, and advisor Jake Davis, Stillpoint Meadows aims to be a gathering place for classes, talks and other events.
