Faces of a Century

Faces of a Century

A selection of thirteen rarely-seen portraits from the Museum’s collection is now on exhibit in the upstairs hallway on the second floor. All made within the past 100 years, these paintings and photographs show people whose lives had an impact on the Vineyard. Thomas Dexter, Amos Smalley, TM Araujo, Max Eastman, Ginny Jones, and  Delores Stevens are just a few of the men and women whose likenesses are in the exhibition. Visitors can see the work of painters Jeanne Staples, Richard Limber, and Traeger Di Pietro, and photographers Bruce Davidson, Patrick Cashin, and Editta Sherman, among others.
