The Vineyards Art Project
The Vineyard Arts Project is an artist residency located on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard. The VAP campus is located in the seaside village of Edgartown, and is easily accessible with a ten minute walk into the center of town, a mile-and-a-half scenic bike ride to State Beach, and a few steps away from multiple bus stops, putting all popular island destinations within easy reach of conference attendees. Edgartown has a great variety of fine restaurants, grocery stores, welcoming cafes and bars, and a local bookstore and cinema. The VAP grounds are wonderfully tranquil and indoor spaces are comfortable and spacious, providing the perfect environment for conference goers to enjoy our summer seminars while also finding the space needed to develop new work. The VAP is located at 215 Upper Main Street.
