New Trustees:

Dr. Stephen DeVincent- veterinarian who practiced in Provincetown; splits time between Concord and Nantucket, MA – we haven’t had someone from the Islands on our Board in a very long time which could open up new opportunities for casting our net wider. Stephen is a collector of Provincetown art and his husband, Rufus Gifford, is the former Ambassador to Denmark under the Obama administration. They are long-time donors to PAAM and orchestrated the loan of PAAM Collection artworks to the State Department in Washington, DC.

Megan Hinton – Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes appropriation from painting’s history along with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of subject and formalism spans further to her work in collage, sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. Megan holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from Mills College where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is the recent recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Megan is also an art educator, curator, and writer. Megan was the 2024 PAAM Party Excellence in Arts Recipient.

The Nominating Committee and The Board of Trustees extend their most sincere appreciation to Annemette Cliggott-Perlt for her service to PAAM.

PAAM gratefully acknowledges Lise Motherwell for her extraordinary leadership as President of the Board and Doug Dolezal for his service as Secretary/Clerk.

Respectfully submitted,
PAAM Nominating Committee
