Opening reception is on Saturday at 5 pm, and the exhibit will be on display through mid-September.
Also in Vineyard Haven, Bella will perform her last show of the season, Trouble in Paradise. She’ll set up a small stage under the Linden Tree on Main St., and sing her original songs and some that you might recognize from popular movies.
