Tom Maley: Dancing in the Field

Tom Maley: Dancing in the Field



Tom Maley lived and worked on Martha’s Vineyard for most of his life. In 1971 he co-founded the Field Gallery behind his West Tisbury home with friends and fellow artists. His large white outdoor figures became some of the Island’s most recognizable landmarks. Maley also painted and led life-drawing sessions that supported many local artists. This exhibition, based on a generous gift from Maley’s daughter, will include sculptures, paintings, drawings, and photographs. It will show Maley’s working methods, his role in creating a community gallery, and his lasting importance in the Island’s artistic life.
