Short Subjects May 19, 2005 Art show for good cause Family Planning of Martha’s Vineyard’s annual art show, sale, and opening party is a bright highlight of every Memorial Day weekend.

This year’s gala, always a great opportunity to socialize and celebrate the new art season, promises to be more fun than ever, with hors d’oeuvres by Park Corner Bistro and upbeat music by DJ Diana.
