The Martha’s Vineyard Times has acquired Martha’s Vineyard Arts+Ideas, in print and digital formats, from Patrick Phillips. Peter Oberfest, publisher of the Martha’s Vineyard Times, announced the acquisition. Mr. Phillips will continue to provide the leadership which has distinguished A+I during the past three years.
In announcing the acquisition, Mr. Oberfest said, “The success of Arts + Ideas has validated Patrick’s original vision – an innovative and engaging platform for linking creative exploration to a deep sense of place. The Times will support and mine this unique resource in print and digital media, to serve readers, site visitors, our diverse arts communities, and Island businesses with the creativity and innovation the arts on Martha’s Vineyard deserve.”
