Art and Craft: Made in Provincetown
Curated by James Bakker
May 10-June 23, 2013
Opening reception: Friday, May 10, 7pm
Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture: Tuesday, May 28, 7pm, free with Museum admission
On the occasion of Art and Craft: Made in Provincetown, James R. Bakker has selected an eclectic body of work representative of his passion for all facets of the arts. His collection has amassed over decades, guided by his keen eye and lifelong commitment to arts, antiques, and the creative process.
“With over 200 Provincetown artists represented in my collection, the most difficult task was narrowing down the selection of works to be included in this exhibition to only sixty…My intention is to continue to gift works [to PAAM] during my lifetime that will enhance the permanent collection and inspire other collectors to do the same as we move forward toward our PAAM Centennial celebration in 2014.” |

Curated by Chris McCarthy

This special collection, gifted to PAAM in 2009 by Houghton Cranford Smith’s children – Florence and Houghton, Jr. – is comprised of 100 paintings, drawings and prints spanning five decades, in addition to photographs, letters and archival materials.

Albert Edel: Moments in Time, Pictures of Place
Curated by Amy Whorf McGuiggan
April 19-June 2, 2013
|
No subject seems to have inspired Albert Edel more than what one writer called the “confusion of activity” on Provincetown’s wharves, those alive and picturesque scenes – fish, lumber and coal loading and unloading, net mending and tarring, sail making, and boat rigging, scraping, caulking and painting. Though not associated with any particular coterie of artists in Provincetown, Edel was nonetheless a recognized member of the colony. Edel’s Provincetown etchings are described by exhibition curator Amy Whorf McGuiggan as “mostly the comings and goings of the Portuguese fisherman along the waterfront…[the etchings] convey a strong sense of place and a vision of a now largely bygone time.”

Fine Arts Offerings from June through September
REGISTER NOW FOR A SUMMER WORKSHOP
The Museum School offers a new line up of workshops in drawing, mixed media and sculpture, painting, printmaking, art history, plein air painting, and computers, as well as sessions for children and teens.

PAAM's workshops are varied enough to fits the needs of all levels of students. Whether it's showing someone how to set up that plein air easel or the support to explore a new technique or medium, those needs are met. Come draw from the model, create a handmade book, brush up on computer skills, or learn about our role in significant art historical movements such as Impressionism and contemporary art.
Our flexible schedule allows students to come for a day, a week, a series, or the season. Students enjoy the benefits of being at PAAM: a school, an artist's association and museum. Wander in the galleries, create during our twice-weekly life drawing sessions, listen to an evening of jazz or classical, drop in for a lecture, or to submit art work as part of one of our members' exhibitions. |
