Wood, Watercolor, and Film at The Granary
The Granary Gallery, on Old County Road in West Tisbury, is known for the variety of art it displays and the caliber of its participating artists, so it seems most appropriate that it is opening its summer season on Sunday, June 27, with three artists specializing in three different media: wood, watercolor, and film.
How can people judge how the art will look in their homes?
Michael Hunter, owner, PIKNIK Art and Apparel: I offer two different environments: the rather austere studio annex, and the inside gallery where the art is displayed among clothing, accessories, and art-to-wear-jewelry.

Schedule of Workshops
Peter Simon: June 18-21; July 15-19; September 10-13; October 8-11, times TBD.
