About Us

The Night Heron Gallery is Martha’s Vineyard’s only artist owned and operated cooperative gallery, featuring the work of island artists including Washington Ledesma, Beldan K. Radcliffe, Diana Stewart, Lisa Strachan, Kathleen Tackabury, and Carolyn Warren while welcoming new artists Marie Meyer Barton, Rachel A. Baumrin, Coco Paniora Salinas, and Taylor Stone.

The gallery was formed in 2011, as they came together to exhibit their dynamic mix of original handcrafted work in various media.  Their shared history together as friends and colleagues in the island art scene for many years lends the gallery a warmth and camaraderie that is easily felt by visitors.  You will find an array of creative expression in ceramics, photography, jewelry, fiber, decorative arts, book arts, painting and printmaking.

This delightful gallery is the only artist owned and operated cooperative gallery on Martha’s Vineyard. A unique feature of the Night Heron Gallery is one or more of the artists are always present.  Come in and celebrate the joy of Vineyard art!
