3 2015 Year in Review

Partnerships sprouted, bloomed, and came to fruition throughout 2015 as the Martha’s Vine- yard Museum followed its path to transformation into a true Island cultural center. Staff, Board, volunteers and interns built bridges to members, students, scholars, residents and visitors – often- times by joining forces with other Island organi- zations and institutions. We were reminded once again of the redeeming and rewarding effects of Island-wide collaboration.

One outstanding example of this collaboration occurred in our Education Department: we signed a three-year lease with the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust for the Mayhew Schoolhouse and, with funding from the Beagary Charitable A group of Pre-K kids examine an Island map at the Morgan Learning Center.

Dr. Chris Chapman, trustee of the Lois Mailou Jones Estate, played a pivotal role in the popular exhibit Lois Mailou Jones: Selected Works. He helped the Museum add some works by Jones to the Museum’s collections, joining other 2015 donations such as a Rez Williams painting and a Bernard Fishman presented historic stereoviews to collection of milk bottles from historic Island dair- a packed Katharine Cornell Theatre. ies.

17 2015 Museum Volunteers

Over 165 volunteers dedicated almost 4,000 hours to assist with the library, visitor services, curatorial projects, education projects, oral history, special events, lighthouses, and other areas of Museum activities. Our Museum, like so many others, depends on volunteers to fulfill our mission. They can be justly proud of what they accomplished in 2015. We thank them for all their hard work and dedication.
