100 Lagoon Pond: Floating Gallery

About

100 Lagoon Pond: Floating Gallery in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, is a unique cultural platform situated on a houseboat. This innovative gallery addresses the intersection of environmental issues such as eroding coastlines and warming waters through art exhibitions and public programs. It aims to highlight the needs of the island’s year-round residents, scientists, and the deteriorating water quality while enriching the cultural life of the community. The gallery, directed by artist Marion Wilson, offers residencies that provide artists with a distinctive experience of creating art on the water. Participants stay in an historic whaling captain’s home and engage in activities like painting, yoga, and field trips to island beaches. The gallery emphasizes using art to engage with environmental challenges and the human experience.
