Art Reach provides substantive out-of-school arts and humanities. The program is a collaborative community response, developed to address the needs of young people through a partnership between PAAM and the Provincetown School System and the Provincetown Police Department. Each week youth participants work with three teaching artists--Tracey Anderson, Liz Carney, and Lynn Stanley--creating their own website, painting and drawing, and creative writing. The program culminates in May with an exhibition and reception in PAAM’s galleries to celebrate the young artists. For further information about Art Reach, please call Lynn Stanley at (508) 487-1750 or email lstanley@PAAM.org. Over the 2009 course of the seven month program, nine students-- T.K. Dahill, Jared King, Angela Martinez, Chris Martinez, Jacob Nichols, Nicholas Paire, Eric Rego, Chelsea Roderick, and Caitlyn Russell— wored with artist Tracey Anderson to design their own web pages which made up the program website. The group was asked to create a name for their website and chose The Tide Has Turned, which conveys a sense of positive change and the participants shared identity as inhabitants of the Outer Cape.   Art Reach is and has been supported in part by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, Bank of America, the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Peter Petas and Ted Jones, The Aeroflex Foundation, TD Banknorth, Conwell Ace Hardware & Lumber Co. Inc, Cape Cab -- giving back to the community year-round – the Stillman-Lack Foundation, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. PAAM is committed to high quality, accessible art programming for all.
