The island, located just seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod, has a long history as geographic muse: Lillian Hellman and William Styron wrote overlooking the Vineyard Haven harbor, and Thomas Hart Benton--whose influence is still felt in island painters today--depicted the stone walls and winding roads of what is known as \"up-island\" more than a hundred years ago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, a new generation continues to build on these creative legacies, inspired by the island's ever-changing light, endless beaches, historic towns, and rolling fields. \u003ci\u003eVineyard Folk\u003c\/i\u003e features painters, potters, poets, musicians, and actors, among many others, and the unique ways they work, live, and play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Above all, \u003ci\u003eVineyard Folk\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter to a remarkable island community.
