Forsythe Studio Gallery, a new modern art space in Edgartown, will open its doors for the first time on Friday, July 3 with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m.

Forsythe is located at 15 North Summer street, half a block off of Main street. Refreshments will be served.

Owner Ashley Bostrom, the gallery’s sole artist, both works and exhibits in the studio gallery. The broad range of her subject matter and media creates a combination of work that is innovative and engaging.

A new exhibition, Con Brio, is open at Dragonfly Gallery in Oak Bluffs, with works by Jance Lentz, Don McKillop and Kyle Stevenson.

The title comes from a musical term meaning “with spirit.”

Mr. McKillop, an artist and as of this year the co-owner of the gallery, says of all the Dragonfly shows this summer, this one spans the widest spectrum of color palettes, styles, techniques and size.

“Jan, Kyle and I all paint with that same sense of spirit or vigor, even though our work is entirely different,” he said.
