Welcome!

Old Sculpin Gallery is a historic landmark located on Edgartown's waterfront on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. A non-profit visual arts center operated by Martha's Vineyard Art Association, it is primarily a fine art gallery where artists of the MVAA show their work. The MVAA is comprised of year round and seasonal residents of the island who provide a unique window into island life. See Gallery Artists.

• We are also an art school for children and adults. See Courses &Workshops.

• The MVAA maintains a permanent collection of important and historical Martha's Vineyard paintings. See Permanent Collection.

• The Old Sculpin is both a museum and a historic property. See History.

• We have an active exhibition calender with new works by artist members hung each week. Artist receptions are held on Sunday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. See Exhibition Calendar.

“The mission of the MVAA is to preserve and enhance the cultural life of the Vineyard community by providing quality art education, annual scholarship awards, exhibition opportunities for artists in the historic Old Sculpin Gallery, and curating our permanent collection of island art.”
