The true soul of Marthaâs Vineyard, captured through the eyes of the talented artists and artisans who live there
        Â
Vineyard Folk leads us on an intimate journey into the lives and inspirational places of some of the many talented artists who have always made up the larger community of Marthaâs Vineyard. The island, located just seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod, has a long history as geographic muse: Lillian Hellman and William Styron wrote overlooking the Vineyard Haven harbor, and Thomas Hart Bentonâwhose influence is still felt in island painters todayâdepicted the stone walls and winding roads of what is known as âup-islandâ more than a hundred years ago.Â
        Â
Now, a new generation continues to build on these creative legacies, inspired by the islandâs ever-changing light, endless beaches, historic towns, and rolling fields. Vineyard Folk features painters, potters, poets, musicians, and actors, among many others, and the unique ways they work, live, and play.Â
         Â
Above all, Vineyard Folk is a love letter to a remarkable island community. With personal interviews and candid photography, it is a collage of creativity, resilience, and hope. We celebrate these artists captured at this golden moment of time that may not last forever.
