This Summer at a Glance
Artists-in-Residence
The Yard continues its practice of presenting innovative and invigorating works that excite, inspire, and encourage growth. Some artists will share completed works, while others invite the audience into the middle of their creative process. All are engaging in unique ways with the pressing social and cultural issues of the time. Events will be held at The Yard’s Chilmark campus and at locations across Martha’s Vineyard.
