The evening will begin at 5PM when we will be “Honoring the People of Noepe” with a film that was developed by our MVDC Education Committee in tribute to the Island’s Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribal family, and we will be introducing the audience to our Elder History Project and music video “CHANGE”. The evening will also feature a Silent Auction featuring works by island artists including Allen Whiting, Brooke Adams, Washington Ledesma, Sandy Pimentel & Traeger DiPietro, who will feature a piece created in partnership with the children at Sense of Wonder Camp in Vineyard Haven. Wine and light bites will be served. Download the event flyer here.
