During summer the Chilmark Tavern stays true to its name. It is a place to eat and imbibe — bring your own, of course. But for the past few years, each winter the tavern morphs into a completely different type of destination, one that defies a category or even a definition. Welcome to the Pathways Project.

The brainchild of Marianne Goldberg, Pathways is essentially a playground for artists of all genres. Ms. Goldberg holds a doctorate in performance studies from New York University and has traveled extensively, performing and studying visual art, choreography and other art forms.
