Art
The Island art community will witness a double debut this weekend — the opening of Lanny McDowell’s solo painting exhibition and the first solo art exhibition held at the Tashmoo Spring building.
The building, known as the Tisbury Waterworks, has undergone extensive renovations in the past few years. The town has begun renting it out as a venue for weddings, art exhibitions and a youth theater camp. Once used to house water pumps, it now has high ceilings, brick walls and tall windows.

There’s no place like home.
Dorothy said it, and the world agreed. But the artwork of Peter Batchelder challenges the famous movie mantra. By ditching the details and accessing only the universal essence of a place, he presents “home” as somewhere that can be found almost anywhere if you know how to find what’s familiar.
All About Eclecticism
Domingo Pagan, artist and photographer, opens his studio to the public in a show called Eclecticism: The Image Is The Message on June 30 from 2 to 6 p.m.
His traditional and digital media, a truly eclectic collection of work, include vibrant photographic landscapes and sensitive female portraits. His oil paintings are detailed reproductions of well-known impressionist works, and his watercolors are mysterious portraits, including some that employ a technique similar to inverted spectrum.
The Artist
This Tuesday, July 3, is your chance to see The Artist, the most-awarded French film in history, free of charge at the Vineyard Haven Library.
The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning five, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
Golf Classic
Ninety-six golfers braved near 100-degree temperatures on June 22 for the 13th annual Martha’s Vineyard Savings Bank Golf Classic. A benefit for the Vineyard Nursing Association, the event raised $40,000 through sponsorships, player registration, raffles and contests.
