    A Fall Celebration of the Arts

    on Marthas Vineyard

    Art*Island is a Five Day Festival of the Arts, Here.

    Marthas Vineyard is Art Island,a place of unstinting imagination.

    Creativity is everywhere from boatbuilding to abstract contemporary

    painting, from the staging of world renowned modern dance to glass

    and ceramic arts. Novelists, poets, photographers many well known

    worldwide, others more known by neighbors all call Marthas Vineyard home. As much

    as these individuals create their art, their arts and imagination create our community.

    Art*Island Festival celebrates many of these artist and the arts and creative spirit of this

    vital community.

    More than twenty arts organizations and

    businesses from across the Island and

    dozens of people have contributed to the

    effort to make Art*Island an engaging,

    festive and imaginative event. Through

    their efforts and support Marthas Vine-

    yard now has an incredibly diverse and

    collaborative community of imagineers

    who are dedicated to sharing the arts on

    Marthas Vineyard with the world and

    to putting on a festival of arts that will

    bring New England to Marthas Vineyard.

    The Islands Imagination

    Come to Art*Island and let Vineyard arts,

    ideas (and parties) fuel your imagination.
