Persistent Curiosity: Charting the Rippled Fabric of the Sea | The Center for Coastal Studies 50th Anniversary

Curated by Mark Adams and Christine McCarthy | On view through July 19

Exhibition co-curator Mark Adams will be joined by a panel of artists and scientists to discuss this exhibition marking the Center for Coastal Studies’s 50th Anniversary. Featuring contemporary artists with a long connection to Provincetown’s marine history as well on works from PAAM’s permanent collection, including many donated by the late Napi and Helen Van Dereck. According to the curators, works were selected because they resonate with the show’s themes of whale biology, marine ecology, coastal landforms and working life by the sea.

Adams writes: “The artists on view in this exhibition have created visual metaphors for sand, tides and currents, the lives of whales and plankton, and the seaworthiness of our harbor towns, evoking a rich maritime half-century and a changing ethos about how to live by the ocean.”

Fritz Horstman: Interacting with Color

In conjunction with his workshop on Friday, June 26, 1-4pm

Edwin Rissland: Revisitations

Curated by Joe Fiorello | On view through August 23

Curator Joe Fiorello will be joined by Edwina Rissland to discuss her late father’s exhibition, Revisitations. Edwin E. Rissland first came to Provincetown at the age of twenty-three to study painting at the summer school run by George Elmer Browne. He returned nearly every summer thereafter and, over more than sixty years, explored and painted scenes throughout the town and its surrounding landscape. In those early summers, he came to know Provincetown intimately—from the harbor and tidal flats to the moors, dunes, and hills beyond Bradford Street. Certain places—the harbor, Shank Painter Pond, and the West End—became enduring subjects in his work. Some of these landscapes have since changed or disappeared, while others remain much as they were.

Marcia Marcus: Strange and Clear

Curated by Brandon Brame Fortune and Debra Lennard | On view through August 30

Join us for a panel discussion about the exhibition Marcia Marcus: Strange and Clear. Marcia Marcus (1928 – 2025) was a vital, under-recognized contributor to American postwar figurative painting. The exhibition will be the first to address in depth Marcus’s unique, canon-reframing art. It will also be the first to examine the special significance of Provincetown—a long-time haven for artistic growth—to Marcus’s art.

From the early 1950s through the late 1990s, Marcus (a New Yorker, born in 1928) brought forth a singular and substantial body of work. Balking abstraction, Marcus made precise and forthright figurative paintings, of people, landscapes, and still lifes, all suffused with a signature hushed and suspenseful quality—in the words of one commentator, writing in the 1970s, “of someone who has just taken a breath, of something about to occur.”
