The Vineyard Mindset:
Where Heritage, Creativity, and Business Meet

5:00pm - 6:00pm

This Juneteenth, the MV Museum welcomes Gatsby Coram, artist, actor, designer, storyteller, fifth-generation Vineyarder, and founder and creative director of Walker Noble Studios, for a thoughtful conversation about art, heritage, and home. Gatsby will share his family’s long history on the Island and reflect on how that connection continues to influence his creative work. He will speak about his collections with major brands, his extensive art licensing partnerships, and his experiences as a keynote speaker highlighting the intersection of creativity and business, and how both worlds shape opportunity, access, and impact. Through personal stories about legacy, identity, and creative expression, he will explore how Walker Noble Studios carries forward a narrative rooted in culture, history, and inspiration. This presentation offers a rare look at how one family’s story weaves into the heritage of Martha’s Vineyard and how creatives and innovators across disciplines can build lasting legacies grounded in purpose, place, and meaningful storytelling. There will be a light wine reception to follow in the Rose Styron Garden.
