PAAM's Open Exhibitions are mounted throughout the year, and provide local artists with professional opportunities to show their work.  Open shows are hanged salon-style in PAAM's galleries, and often include pieces by more than 200 individual artists.  The number of artists participating in these exhibitions serves as a powerful reminder that Provincetown's creative legacy is alive and well.   PAAM is an important exhibition space for Cape Cod artists, and is also a valuable resource for education, promotion, and connection to the arts community of the region.  Members have acquired gallery representation, executed fine art sales, and received professional training as a result of their connection with the organization.
