Season opener

A gallery reception at the Louisa Gould Gallery in Vineyard Haven on Saturday ushered in "Sail Into Summer," a show which features artwork from eight different artists, including Ms. Gould's own photographs. Michael Haydn, a jazz pianist, set the atmosphere as a crowd of people milled around speaking with the artists and enjoying their work. Included in the show are ceramics, sculptures, photographs, and paintings.

"Sail into Summer" will be up through June 26. 508-693-7373.
