Cross Contemporary: Student and Educator Curating Program
Nauset Regional High School

In November, students from Ginny Ogden's Advanced Portfolio Class at Nauset Regional High School were introduced to the wealth of contemporary Provincetown art during a lecture presented by teaching artist Tracey Anderson. These students were then treated to a hands-on experience of curating and art-making sessions at PAAM, focusing on contemporary artists represented in PAAM's permanent collection. Each student responded to this work through creative writing and in the media of their choice.
