Members of the Martha’s Vineyard Educators Association staged an Islandwide walk-in/out today to advocate for salary increases during a negotiations stalemate between union members and school officials.

Read
reporter Abigail Rosen’s coverage on the issue here.

Art for Ukraine
Grace Kennan Warnecke, Vineyard Haven resident and chair of the Board of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, collected dozens of paintings during her time living in Kyiv, Ukraine. Now, Warnecke is displaying and selling a number of those paintings at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse, with proceeds from the art sale going toward Ukrainian relief efforts. Writer Gwyn McAllister spoke with Warnecke about the process of slowly adding more and more Ukrainian artwork to her collection, and why she finds the art so powerful and important.
