Fifteen artists for fifteen years. That’s what Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs is planning this Spring. No word yet on whether each artist will have to tackle a certain year. And how would you represent 1997, for example, anyway? Clinton started his second term, scientists cloned Dolly the sheep, Princess Diana died in a car crash trying to evade paparazzi, the possibilities are endless.

But this is art we are talking about and thus it knows no bounds. To be strapped to a year would only limit one’s creativity. Besides, many of these artists were still toddling about and eating dirt when Featherstone opened its doors.

First up on Thursday, April 7 is Jess Dupon, a senior at the Charter School. The reception is from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Pebble Gallery at Featherstone. Miss Dupon’s show is entitled Puzzle Pieces and represents the transformation of her poetry into visual works of art. In other words, the young lady is so talented she can rock a bunch of mediums.
