Benefit Auction of Early Provincetown Art

PAAM is pleased to announce the return of our Benefit Auction of Early Provincetown Art, taking place Saturday, May 16, 2026.

This special evening celebrates the artists who helped transform Provincetown from a small fishing village into one of the most influential centers of American art. The auction brings together remarkable works by historic Provincetown and Outer Cape artists and offers collectors an opportunity to acquire exceptional pieces while supporting PAAM’s mission.

Proceeds from the auction help sustain PAAM’s exhibitions, educational programs, and stewardship of Provincetown’s artistic legacy. The Benefit Auction is one of PAAM’s most important annual fundraisers. By participating in the auction—whether as a bidder, consignor, or supporter—you help preserve and sustain the cultural vitality of our Provincetown art community. Learn more about the auction here.
