Artist Stacey Ellerbe Carter's Exhibition Sold Out on Martha's Vineyard

Artist Stacey Ellerbe Carter's solo exhibition and collector event on Martha's Vineyard in August 2026 achieved a sell-out status. The event, held in Oak Bluffs, drew island residents, long-time summer families, and collectors from across the United States.

The program featured discussions exploring art's role as both cultural legacy and long-term asset. Judith Lee of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management spoke on wealth building and transfer within the community. Ayo Sanderson Wilson, founder of Great Room Gallery, conducted a one-on-one conversation with Carter about her artistic journey and inspirations.

Carter's work is deeply connected to Martha's Vineyard, a place where her family has summered for over 70 years. She discussed how the island has shaped her perspective and artistic practice. Her "Black Is Beautiful" series and the "Martha's Vineyard Vitrine Collection™" sculptures garnered significant attention.

Works from the "Black Is Beautiful" series, including the abstract painting "Euphoria," were sold during the evening. The Vitrine Collection™ sculptures are unique, hand-built monuments inspired by iconic Martha's Vineyard locations. Collectors responded to these pieces as portraits of memory and personal stories tied to the island.

Carter continued her island presence by showcasing the Vitrine Collection™ at the Summercamp Hotel in Oak Bluffs. The display offered attendees a chance to engage with the artist and view her sculptures up close.
