Exhibition Opening Reception for Mermaid Farm: Beauty & Struggle

Exhibition Opening Reception for Mermaid Farm: Beauty & Struggle

Join us on Saturday, July 5th as we celebrate the opening of a beautifully curated exhibition called Mermaid Farm: Beauty & Struggle by seasonal visitor Lexi Van Valkenburgh. This exhibition explores the past and present of farming on Martha’s Vineyard. Once predominantly agricultural, the Island has seen much of its farmland lost to development. Through a series of photographs taken by Van Valkenburgh at Mermaid Farm—one of only two remaining dairy farms—the exhibit traces the Island’s agricultural history and tells the story of a family deeply rooted in the land.

Free for all to attend.
