"The Arts are Alive at Featherstone"
Message From the Director

We want to thank all of you who have attended our classes and events and have supported us with your financial contributions as well.

As we keep the arts alive at Featherstone in 2010, we want to share with you our plans for our exciting gallery shows.  We ask that you make note of all of these events in your calendars. In addition to our gallery shows, our two major 2010 fundraisers will be Featherstone at Farm Neck on Monday evening, July 12 and Featherstone & Hospice Arts Celebration on Saturday, July 24 on the Featherstone campus.

Please take the time to look at all of the winter and spring classes that we are offering – with our enthusiastic teachers who love sharing their talents and skills with you.

Our classes and activities for all ages are listed on our spectacular website featherstoneart.org and in the calendars of the Vineyard newspapers as well.

Come live the arts for yourself!
