Fine Art, Music, Wine, Cheese . . .

What could be finer than the August Art Gallery Stroll around Edgartown, taking place this Thursday evening? Harbor breezes will carry the music of the Mike Benjamin Band from the Eisenhauer Gallery porch, while inside the exhibit includes the Michel Brosseau work pictured above.

Let the wind take you on to the intimate Christina Gallery on North Water street, packed with works from around the world, stopping at other galleries on North Water street along the way. Willoughby Gallery is run by a family of painters, so do not be shy about asking your hosts to explain techniques used to create the art on the walls. At North Water Gallery, see the grand scale watercolors of Michael Frith, who paints yacht racing, and delight in Island favorite Ray Ellis’s newest paintings.
