Enduring Inspiration

Enduring Inspiration brings together artists of the past and present in celebration of the enduring creative legacy of Provincetown and Outer Cape Cod.

Presented collaboratively PAAM and Addison Art Gallery, the exhibition reflects on the ways artists continue to draw inspiration from the region’s history, landscape, and vibrant creative community. PAAM has been central to preserving this artistic heritage while nurturing the generations of artists who carry it forward.

“The connections between the artists of the past and those working in the present are endless. Collaborations like this strengthen our vision of Provincetown and Outer Cape Cod as a place where a vibrant artistic legacy continues to inspire new creativity.”

—Christine McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer, Provincetown Art Association and Museum
