The Adele and Lester Heller Lecture Series

The ALH Lecture Series honors the memory of Adele Heller, who was the producing director of the Provincetown Playhouse on the Wharf, and a concert pianist, and her husband Lester, an accomplished documentary filmmaker and life-long devotee of the visual and performing arts.

 The Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series

This series began in 2003 in honor of the artist Fredi Schiff Levin, who was a member of Provincetown's arts community from the 1960s until her passing in 2002. PAAM gratefully acknowledges John and Toni Levin and Mildred and Herbert Lee, who make this program possible with their generous support.

Since the 1920s the Provincetown Art Association and Museum has participated in the Outer Cape’s tradition of offering instruction and studio art classes to visitors and members of our community. In 1982 PAAM’s educational mission was furthered when the Museum School at PAAM was officially founded, with an onsite studio classroom. Modeled after the Art Students League of New York, the Museum School has provided students of all levels the opportunity to work with local, professional artists in a variety of settings and media—working en plein air and in the traditional, studio classroom environment.

The school has evolved over the past 21 years into a year-round program, featuring two months of summer classes and an 8-week studio intensive, as well as fall and winter workshops and accredited semester-long classes.

Five years ago the Museum School began a partnership with Cape Cod Community College, to provide off-season, accredited courses to college students, adults, and working professionals. The program offers a variety of courses, taught by a faculty of practicing artists from the Outer Cape. Courses concentrate on intensive, individual portfolio development, and the exploration of media and creative processes. Classes maintain the intimacy of workshops and offer valuable one-on-one contact with instructors. Accredited courses can be applied towards an Associates or Bachelor of Arts degree.

Students are encouraged to develop a body of work through creative experimentation.
To deepen participation in our artistic community, students are invited to become members of PAAM. As PAAM continues its commitment to support and represent contemporary artists, each new artist/member joins a long roster of distinguished American artists who have studied, taught, and exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum over the last century.
