Island Commons Notes from the Hall

Martha KomLosy Hamilton was a lifelong lover and promoter of the arts and handcrafting, whether it was taking Girl Scouts to a play in Portland, serving as the town librarian, assembling a vast collection of costumes and props for island plays, singing in the Whalers, or creating her own art through numerous mediums. Martha was also involved in many of the nonprofits on the island—always willing to roll up her sleeves and get to work. As a way of honoring her memory, the Hall is once again sponsoring Martha Hamilton Arts for the Island Extravaganza to promote and help sustain many of the things she loved. A cover charge of $5 will gain you entrance to this fabulous array of arts and crafts material, where—for instance— you can gather up the pieces needed to make a sweater, carve a spoon, paint an island scene, make sea glass jewelry, or hook a rug. Have you ever wanted to dabble in watercolors, design a quilt, or make a dollhouse? Here is your chance to do it! There is no limit to the items you may take, but please leave a few things for others! And don’t forget to bring your own bags! Let’s carry on Martha’s work on the island. Date: July 27, 2018 Time: 10:00 a.m. to noon
