SUMMARY:Film Screening // Marcia Marcus: Art in the Family
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Marcus: Art in the Family is a documentary film about Marcia Marcus (1928–2025)\, who worked figuratively at the height of the 1950s Abstract Expressionist era.\n\n\n\nRunning 67 minutes\, the film explores Marcus’s art and social life\, her pioneering role in performance art\, pop art and the use of photos. Topics include artistic practice and ambition\, the female gaze\, male nudes\, the 10th Street Galleries and the New York art world\, the Provincetown art scene\, and the emergence of Performance Art and Happenings.  \n\n\n\nThe documentary was created by Kate Prendergast— Marcus’s daughter.  It has been praised for addressing the broader marginalization of women artists\, with viewers noting its valuable context and testimonials on that subject. \n\n\n\nThe title refers to one of Marcus’s most significant works: Art and the Family\, created in 1966\, is Marcus’s largest painting\, and it spotlights the context of a woman artist. It features an elegant family portrait on one side\, backdropped by a collage of magazine images and clipped words\, while on the other side her children’s exuberant family portrait push up against that backdrop — representing a kind of competition between family\, artmaking\, and the noise of the surrounding world.  \n\n\n\nThe film has received warm reception from artists and critics alike\, praised for being inspirational with rich insight into the era\, Marcus’s life and humor\, and its importance as a record of a pioneering female artist. \n\n\n\nIncluded with $15 Museum admission\, free for PAAM members.

SUMMARY:Aric Attas // Symbiotic: The Four Seasons – Tree Music In the Garden (Day 2/2)
DESCRIPTION:Experience the music of plants! \n\n\n\nThe Four Seasons is a multi-space sound installation where data from the natural world becomes continuously evolving music\, shaped by the changing seasons. \n\n\n\nExpanding on Summer Song\, presented in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden during the 2025 Secret Garden Tour\, Attas subsequently installed Autumn Song\, Winter Song\, and Spring Song over the past year in the same exterior space. Bringing the four pieces together\, this new installation unfolds as a four-part suite shaped by Autumn\, Winter\, Spring\, and Summer. \n\n\n\nThree interior galleries will feature generative sound works created from data collected across Autumn\, Winter\, and Spring. Each piece evolves over time\, shaped by the subtle electrical energy patterns recorded from the American Elm during those seasons. Together\, they form distinct yet connected listening environments\, each reflecting a different phase in the annual cycle. \n\n\n\nSummer will take place outdoors as a live installation in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden\, where visitors can experience the sounds of the American Elm in real time. Again this year\, the installation will coincide with PAAM’s 2026 Secret Garden Tour. \n\n\n\nAcross all four spaces\, The Four Seasons creates a place for reflection\, curiosity\, and quiet discovery\, where seasonal change becomes something you can hear.  \n\n\n\nUsing custom-designed electronic instruments and sensors\, Attas draws on the bioelectric energy patterns within the large American Elm tree that shades PAAM’s Sculpture Garden. Signals produced by the plants’ own living processes are transformed in real time into harmonic tones\, chimes\, and ambient layers. The result: an evolving sonic tapestry where trees sing in harmony with birdsong\, water\, wind\, and ambient human-made sounds \n\n\n\nVisitors are invited to come and go throughout the day\, sit beneath the canopy and let the sounds unfold\, or wander through the galleries to experience the sound of the American Elm in Autumn\, Winter\, and Spring. The Four Seasons is grounded in observation and curiosity. It offers a space where visitors can slow down\, tune their attention\, and experience the environment not as something separate\, but as something unfolding around them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Talks with Aric Attas\n\n\n\nMonday\, July 13th at 1pm and 3pm \n\n\n\nIn the Sculpture Garden itself\, Attas will share the creative process and the natural phenomena that make The Four Seasons possible. His practice blends cutting-edge technology with poetic intuition to explore unseen and unheard dimensions of the world around us. Attas’s sound installations incorporate generative ambient music\, using data input from the natural world\, including living plants and collected field recordings from Cape Cod\, sub-tropical Central Florida\, and beyond. Learn more at: healingpowerofcreativity.com

SUMMARY:Book Signings with Authors C.L. Fornari and Stephen Orr
DESCRIPTION:Authors C.L. Fornari and Stephen Orr will be signing copies of their new books!\n\n\n\nIncluded with $15 Museum admission (free for members) or a Secret Garden Tour ticket–available here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHydrangea Happiness by C.L. Fornari\n\n\n\nWith large\, long-lasting flowers that range from showy pinks to heartbreaking shades of blue\, hydrangeas are captivating\, popular plants. Yet gardeners often find themselves flummoxed by the challenge of understanding and growing the many varieties of these shrubs. \n\n\n\nWriter\, radio host\, and gardening consultant C. L. Fornari (also known as The Garden Lady) simplifies the cultivation and care of the six most popular species of hydrangeas in this practical\, clear\, and accessible guide. Hydrangea Happiness explains the difference between varietals and tells how and where they can successfully grow in assorted soils and conditions throughout the United States. In addition to sharing essential information\, Fornari addresses myths and misinformation and fields questions about cultivating these popular plants. Punctuated with catchy rhymes and beautiful photographs\, this book makes the road to Hydrangea Happiness easy\, successful\, and fun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Gardener’s Mindset: A Gardening Book by Stephen Orr\n\n\n\nFrom Stephen Orr\, the former editor-in-chief of Better Homes and Gardens\, comes a collection of essays and photographs that examines the restorative power of gardening\, while revealing his own challenges in the garden and offering advice on growing plants and vegetables at home. \n\n\n\nAlongside gorgeous photographs and easy projects that range from cultivating a color scheme to building a wildlife habitat\, Orr delves into his personal gardening journey\, pulling from the various gardens he and his husband created over the past decades. He remembers his first garden on a New York City rooftop\, where he followed beginner’s instinct to rearrange endlessly pots of old roses\, herbs\, perennials\, and even trees. Later in Des Moines\, the challenge of growing anything interesting in his shade-filled backyard led Orr to discover the beautiful patterns and colors of leafy lungworts and epimediums. And he shares how his current garden in Cape Cod is a work in progress and serves as his trial-and-error lab\, where he is learning how to cultivate plants that can stay resilient in the face of dry sandy soil\, dramatic coastal storms\, and climate change.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: "Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like" — Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Published on the occasion of a major new career retrospective\, Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like provides a much-needed\, extensive monographic exploration of a strikingly original artist.\n\n\n\n Join lead curator Debra Lennard and the artist’s daughters\, Jane Barrell Yadav and Kate Prendergast\, for a conversation about Marcia Marcus‘s life and art\, on the occasion of the publication of Marcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like. Published alongside PAAM’s major new career retrospective\, this extensive monographic exploration brings long-overdue attention to a wildly original artist. \n\n\n\nHeadstrong and wry\, Marcia Marcus (1928–2025) made paintings that challenge typical understanding of post-war American art. Rejecting mainstream abstraction\, Marcus spent five decades painting what compelled her: languorous male nudes\, parenthood\, great style — subjects her peers rarely explored — all rendered in her distinctive cool and poised hand. Undaunted by New York’s male-dominated art world\, she was a vivid presence in downtown Manhattan and Provincetown\, pioneering as one of the first women to stage a Happening. Through decades of self-portraiture\, she boldly affirmed her own creative voice and upended narrow expectations of gender with wit and defiance. \n\n\n\nThis volume illuminates Marcus’s multifaceted significance: innovative artist of post-war New York\, creator of radically assertive self-portraiture\, and essential forerunner of figurative painting today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcia Marcus: I Paint What I Like.\n\n\n\nEdited by Debra LennardPreface by Jane Barrell Yadav and Kate PrendergastIntroduction by Melissa RachleffEssay by Debra LennardCoda by Brandon Brame FortuneContributions by Martha Edelheit\, Mimi Gross\, Chantal Joffe\, and Alex Katz \n\n\n\nPublisher: D Giles Limited\, London GilesLtd.com in association with Marcia Marcus Media Corp.\, Yonkers\, New York.

SUMMARY:Future Art(ifacts): "What She Opened" by Jackie Reeves
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Juneteenth\, local artist Jackie Reeves presents her installation What She Opened\, an homage to educator\, activist\, and “Grandmother of Juneteeth”\, Dr. Opal Lee. \n\n\n\nSometimes referred to as the nation’s second independence day\, Juneteenth recognizes June 19\, 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay\, Texas announcing that the more than 250\,000 enslaved black people in the state were free. However\, it was not until June 17\, 2021\, after decades long efforts led by Lee\, that President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act bill that finally established June 19th as a federal holiday. This temporary art piece celebrates a once underrepresented but crucial moment in American history.  \n\n\n\nThe Future Art(ifacts) Series:\n\n\n\nAn artifact is “an object made or modified by a human being\, typically one of cultural or historical interest”. Artifacts mark important cultural and artistic expressions throughout human history\, tracing our societal values as they have changed through time. They are often found buried deep underground\, dusted off\, and encased in glass or hung on the wall of a museum\, separated by time and space by the people who made them\, leaving viewers to reckon with their meaning. The Future Art(ifacts) Series\, aims to connect the public with artists\, creators\, and thinkers making the same kind of significant contributions to culture in real time through a series of free workshops\, events\, and temporary installations held at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum during Free Friday events. \n\n\n\nJackie Reeves:\n\n\n\nJackie Reeves is a Cape Cod based multidisciplinary artist working across drawing\, installation\, animation\, and mixed media. She holds an MFA from Massart and approaches the figure as a site of experimentation~ layered\, fragmented\, erased\, and rebuilt. Her process embraces risk\, improvisation\, and the visible history of mark-making\, often incorporating collage\, unconventional materials\, and gestural abstraction. Reeves was honored as 2026 Artist of the Year by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and is the creator of award-winning animated films that merge art\, poetry\, and music. Her teaching invites artists to move beyond perfection and into discovery\, courage\, and expressive freedom. \n\n\n\nHer exhibition at PAAM\, Larger than Life ~ Drawings in Time\, is on view through July 19. \n\n\n\nImage: Jackie Reeves\, Cloud Hopper\, 2025\, Acrylic and chalk on canvas\, 65”x53

SUMMARY:Aric Attas // Symbiotic: Spring Song – Tree Music in the Garden (Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Experience the music of plants! \n\n\n\nThis is the fourth in a suite of sound art installations titled The Four Seasons – Tree Music in the Garden by sound artist Aric Attas. Emerging from the success of Summer Song\, installed in PAAM’s Sculpture Garden during the 2025 Secret Garden Tour in July 2025\, this evolving suite will explore the sounds of Summer\, Autumn\, Winter\, and Spring. Together\, these works celebrate the changing beauty of Provincetown\, creating a place for reflection and discovery throughout the year. \n\n\n\nSpring Song – Tree Music in the Garden turns the natural space of PAAM’s Sculpture Garden into an immersive experience as the dormant landscape awakens again. It’s a celebration of wonder\, perception\, and our deep-rooted connection to the constant change of the living world. \n\n\n\nUsing custom-designed electronic instruments and sensors\, Attas draws on the bioelectric energy patterns within the large American Elm tree that shades PAAM’s Sculpture Garden. Signals produced by the plants’ own living processes are transformed in real time into harmonic tones\, chimes\, and ambient layers. The result: an evolving sonic tapestry where trees sing in harmony with birdsong\, water\, wind\, and ambient human-made sounds \n\n\n\nVisitors are invited to come and go throughout the day\, sit beneath the canopy\, and let the sounds unfold. It’s a meditative experience—an opportunity to slow down\, listen deeply\, and connect with the natural world. \n\n\n\nArtist Talks with Aric Attas\n\n\n\nFriday\, April 10th at 1pm\, 3pm\, and 7pm \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 11th at 1pm and 3pm \n\n\n\nIn the Sculpture Garden itself\, Attas will share the creative process and the natural phenomena that make Spring Song possible. His practice blends cutting-edge technology with poetic intuition to explore unseen and unheard dimensions of the world around us. Attas’ sound installations incorporate generative ambient music\, using data input from the natural world\, including living plants and collected field recordings from Cape Cod\, sub-tropical Central Florida\, and beyond.

Screenings are introduced by Howard Karren with program notes and are followed by a discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeason Pass\n\n\n\n                					\n						Δ\n						\n						\n\n					\n                        Your Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        If you're purchasing tickets for anyone else\, please list them here:   Add   RemoveYour Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Your PhoneTicketsSeries Pass (PAAM/PFS Member) Quantity\n					\n					\n						Price:\n						$165.00\n					\n					\n					 Quantity \n				Series Pass (General Admission) Quantity\n					\n					\n						Price:\n						$195.00\n					\n					\n					 Quantity \n				I'd like to join PAAM/renew my PAAM membership:Individual Membership ($60)Dual Membership ($100)Family Membership ($125)PAAM Circle Bronze ($1\,000)PAAM Circle Silver ($2\,500)PAAM Circle Gold ($5\,000)Total\n							\n						Credit Card(Required)Configuration Required: To use the Square field\, please configure your Square Settings.Billing address(Required)    \n                    \n                         \n                                        \n                                        Street Address\n                                    \n                                        \n                                        Address Line 2\n                                    \n                                    \n                                    City\n                                 \n                                        AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n                                        State\n                                      \n                                    \n                                    ZIP Code\n                                \n                    \n                CAPTCHA
