Scholarships

PAAM offers two scholarships opportunities for taking a workshop in our Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Museum School.

Scholarships like these help PAAM fulfil its mission of promoting education of the public in the arts. Workshops at PAAM are offered year-round and are taught by local teaching artists whose work is rooted in the culture and legacy of Provincetown. We are grateful to our generous donors who make scholarships possible, please consider making a donation today.

THE CAPE COD ARTIST SCHOLARSHIP

The Cape Cod Artist’s Scholarship is offered to local artists who reside on Cape Cod year-round.

It honors significant members of the PAAM family and is supported through generous donations. The scholarship, which underwrites a PAAM workshop, is open to all types of media. Painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, and mixed media artists are encouraged to apply. There is no age restriction.

Scholarship amounts will be allocated on the basis of: available funding; the number of applicants; and the quality/need of the applicants. Upon request, scholarships may be reviewed for renewal. Recipients accepted for scholarship must agree to certain conditions including regular attendance and commitment to workshops, the promotion of PAAM in general, and participation in exhibition openings; exhibitions installation, and/or other minor volunteer capacities.

Applicants must submit a one-page statement of artistic vision and examples of their work. Letters of recommendation as to the candidate’s potential and ability to develop artistic talent are encouraged, but not required. Interested applicants may send their materials to Curator of Museum Education Milisa Moses via email at mmoses@paam.org, who will share them with PAAM CEO Christine McCarthy for review.

PAAM is grateful for the generous donors who fund these efforts to continue developing future generations of Provincetown artists.
