"It's more than a gallery."
Cousen Rose Gallery (CRG) represents emerging and nationally known artists working in a variety of media, including paintings, abaca, photography, and collages.
Since its opening in 1980, entrepreneur, owner, and gallery visual art curator Zita Cousens has strived to make a permanent home for art. Housed in a gingerbread-Gothic-style building typical of the historic Camp Ground Association, the Cousen Rose Gallery features new exhibits weekly. During July and August, weekly receptions present artists and authors to the backdrop of live music, a tradition in Oak Bluffs.
Historian and Island resident, the late Robert Hayden, stated, “Cousen Rose Gallery is a significant part of the cultural life on Martha’s Vineyard. The gallery reflects a global perspective appealing to the Vineyard’s diverse population. As the longest-running gallery in Oak Bluffs, it’s a must-see when visiting Martha’s Vineyard.”
