On August 16, 2016, Art on the Vine presented by The Agora Culture is set to transform Martha’s Vineyard with a one-day art exhibition featuring over 20 contemporary artists of color, 100 available works, and educational seminars aimed for both new and seasoned collectors.
The event will be held at the historic Dr. Daniel Fisher House in Edgartown from 1 PM – 8 PM and is the first multicultural event that will bring together collectors, up-and-coming artists, institutions, and the merely curious for a unique cultural exhibition.
“Art on the Vine provides a major platform for contemporary artists of color to showcase their work. This event is one-of-a-kind because of our ability to bring investment grade pieces to the Vineyard for art enthusiasts at all levels,” said Jessica Stafford Davis, founder of Art on the Vine and The Agora Culture. “Not only are we highlighting museum-quality works, we are also providing on-site educational opportunities for new and seasoned collectors, as well as choosing one talented artist for the first year of our newly established residency program.”
The Artists in Residency Program is a four-to six-week program in Martha’s Vineyard for promising artists. The chosen artist will have an opportunity to return to the Vineyard, engage with the local art community, showcase their work, and be featured at Art on the Vine in 2017. A portion of the proceeds from this event will directly support this residency program.
Art on the Vine connects the dots between contemporary artists and art enthusiasts. Participants, panelists and gifted artists that will be exhibiting and attending this year’s event include:
- Joyce J. Scott
- Advice from the Collector Panelists: Peggy Cooper Cafritz (collector and activist) and Bob & Faye Davidson (collectors and philanthropists)
