Online sale runs from August 12th to August 31st 

OAK BLUFFS, MA (August 11, 2020) –  MV Community Services Chicken Alley Thrift Shop will host its 17th annual Art and Collectibles Sale online this year from August 12th – 31st. All proceeds from the sale benefit the programs and services of MV Community Services.

The annual Art and Collectibles Sale, founded by volunteer and patron Olga Hirschhorn in 2002, has become one of the most anticipated summer events amongst Islanders and visiting collectors, featuring a curated collection of local paintings, antiques, vintage items, collectibles, Island curiosities, and unique pieces selected from thousands of generous donations that the shop receives throughout the year.

“One of the greatest things about the Art and Collectibles Sale is being able to share the work of Island artists and artisans with the community,” said Jessica Tartell, Chicken Alley Thrift Shop Manager. “Even though we’ve moved online, this iconic sale still features unique, high quality artwork – many pieces that are Vineyard specific. This year we’re particularly excited about the number of Ag Fair posters we have accumulated, which always seem to be in high demand.”

The online Art and Collectibles Sale will open on Wednesday, August 12th at 12 pm EST and close on Monday, August 31st at 5pm EST. New items will be added throughout the sale. Interested buyers can view and purchase items during this time by visiting the online sale at: https://www.chickenalley.org.
