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:Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture // Marcia Marcus Panel Discussion

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:Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture // Joe Fiorello and Edwina Rissland
DESCRIPTION:Curator Joe Fiorello will be joined by Edwina Rissland to discuss her late father’s exhibition\, Revisitations\, for this Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture.\n\n\n\nEdwin 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. \n\n\n\nRissland worked in a wide range of media\, including oil\, watercolor\, and resist techniques\, and also practiced lithography\, sculpture\, and life figure drawing. Though he lived\, worked\, and studied primarily in the New Jersey–New York area\, his heart was firmly anchored in Provincetown\, his beloved and abiding source of inspiration.

SUMMARY:ON VIEW: Gallery Talks with Megan Hinton
DESCRIPTION:ON VIEW offers an opportunity for artists and art lovers to visit PAAM and engage in a group discussion about selected pieces on exhibition during the 2026 summer season. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Megan Hinton will lead an investigative inquiry into the form\, process\, and content of selected artworks. This in depth look will offer viewers surprise and expansion in relation to exhibited artworks. Sessions will also provide artist participants greater insight and influence for their own practice. A deeper visual study of an art work’s historic\, conceptual\, and technical vocabulary will broaden artistic dialogue. All are welcome and participants may enroll in one\, two\, or all three gallery talks scheduled over the course of the summer. See what’s on view here. \n\n\n\nMegan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape\, figurative\, and object painting. Her art utilizes painting’s historic content and technique with found and discarded material to investigate line\, color\, shape\, surface\, and scale. This fusion of content and material further defines Hinton as a collagist and sculptor with interdisciplinary practices in installation\, photography\, and printmaking. In 2024 PAAM honored Hinton with the prestigious annual Award for Artistic Excellence. Megan holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts 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 a recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Megan is also an art educator\, curator\, and writer. She shows her work at Farm Projects Space in Wellfleet\, Massachusetts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Gallery Talk with Megan Hinton is sold out.\n\n\n\nPlease email Milisa (mmoses@paam.org) to be added to the waitlist. Tickets for the next Gallery Talk (Wed.\, 8/12) will open this Thursday.

SUMMARY:Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival // Season Closer: String Quintets
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 6pm\, Concert begins at 6:30 | Advanced Tickets: $30 | Door Tickets: $35 | $15 for students and free for kids under 10 at the door\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAntonín Dvořák’s String Quintet in E-flat major\, Op. 97\, was composed during the summer of 1893 in Spillville\, Iowa\, a moment of reunion and longing crystallized into chamber music. \n\n\n\nThe work opens with a solo viola—Dvořák’s own instrument—introducing a pentatonic melody\, and that single voice becomes the seed from which everything grows. The scherzo opens with rhythmic figures that evoke Native American drum patterns\, which Dvořák encountered in Spillville\, while its middle section brings a “broad\, leisurely melody heard first in the viola…one of Dvořák’s most enchanting themes”—a melody some hear as rooted in the memory of American prairie. The quintet asks: what does it mean to be displaced\, to listen\, to transform what you hear into something that belongs to you? \n\n\n\nRalph Vaughan Williams posed a related question across the Atlantic. His Phantasy Quintet\, composed in 1912\, introduces “an arching pentatonic solo” in the viola—a melody drawn from English folk song\, and the four movements are “played attacca\,” sharing this thematic idea throughout. The viola’s “rich but haunting sound appealed to the composer (he played the instrument himself)”\, and in the Scherzo\, music sweeps along “in 7/4 time over a bubbling Holstian ostinato…marked by a rhythmic freedom associated with English madrigals”. Both composers let the viola speak first. Both listen to tradition—to folk memory\, to what voices before them have sung—and ask what a single melody can become when treated with imagination and reverence.  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\nJessica Meyer\, A Passage Between Earth and Sky (2022)Ralph Vaughan Williams\, Phantasy Quintet (1912)Antonin Dvorak\, Quintet for Strings in E flat Major\, Op. 97 (1893) \n\n\n\nArtists: \n\n\n\nGrant Houston and Yoonhee Lee\, violinsAnna Griffis\, and Ken Hamao\, violasJoseph Gotoff\, cello \n\n\n\nThe Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival at PAAM brings world-class chamber music to Provincetown through an intimate concert series that uniquely integrates with the museum’s visual art exhibitions.

Each concert is specifically curated to converse with the art on display at the museum.

SUMMARY:Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival // Concert 3: The Infinite Thread
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 6pm\, Concert begins at 6:30 | Advanced Tickets: $30 | Door Tickets: $35 | $15 for students and free for kids under 10 at the door\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohann Sebastian Bach / Dmitry SitkovetskyGoldberg Variations\, BWV 988 (arr. for string trio\, 1984)\n\n\n\nBach’s Goldberg Variations hold a peculiar place in the repertoire: endlessly analyzed\, yet somehow endlessly mysterious. \n\n\n\nWritten in 1741 for two-manual harpsichord\, the work unfolds as an Aria followed by thirty variations — canons\, dances\, character pieces\, a boisterous quodlibet — before the Aria returns at the end\, the same notes now carrying the weight of everything that has come between. \n\n\n\nDmitry Sitkovetsky made his string trio arrangement in 1984\, dedicating it to the memory of Glenn Gould\, whose two landmark recordings (1955 and 1981) had done so much to place the Goldbergs at the center of musical life. The dedication is fitting: like Gould\, Sitkovetsky is less interested in replication than in reimagining. Distributing Bach’s voices across violin\, viola\, and cello transforms the music in subtle but profound ways. What was crystalline and percussive on the harpsichord becomes warm\, breathing\, sustained. The counterpoint — always present in the original — becomes something you can almost see\, each voice now embodied by a different instrument\, different timbre\, different physical presence on the stage. \n\n\n\nThe result is not Bach updated or Bach reimagined so much as Bach heard differently — as if a familiar room has been entered through a new door. \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\nJ. S. Bach\, Goldberg Variations (1741)\, arr. for String Trio by Dimitry Sitkovetsky \n\n\n\nArtists: \n\n\n\nYoonhee Lee\, violin \n\n\n\nKen Hamao\, viola \n\n\n\nJoseph Gotoff\, cello \n\n\n\nThe Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival at PAAM brings world-class chamber music to Provincetown through an intimate concert series that uniquely integrates with the museum’s visual art exhibitions.

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:Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture // Fritz Horstman
DESCRIPTION:Artist and teacher Fritz Horstman discusses his studio practice and his book\,  Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments in this Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture.\n\n\n\nArtist\, educator\, curator\, and author Fritz Horstman’s lecture will be two-faceted. He will cover both his new book\, which is a companion to Josef Albers’s beautiful and canonical\, though sometimes opaque\, Interaction of Color\, first published in 1963\, and some of his own artwork\, which is deeply informed by working so closely with the work of Anni and Josef Albers. Horstman’s book focuses on 8 essential experiments in Albers’s text\, providing more images\, step-by-step explanations\, new resources\, and anecdotes from Albers’s classes and from his own. The lecture will transition to his studio practice\, where he’ll share images of his Folded Cyanotypes and Folded Palladiums\, made by folding photo-sensitive paper\, as well as images of several new sculptures and videos in which he describes glacial valleys with a wide range of materials and processes. The lecture will conclude with images of what’s happening in his studio this summer. \n\n\n\nIncluded with $15 Museum admission\, free for PAAM members. \n\n\n\nTHE FREDI SCHIFF LEVIN LECTURE SERIES\n\n\n\nThe Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series welcomes artists\, art historians\, curators\, and authors to speak at PAAM during the summer\, both in conjunction with exhibitions and as independent scholars. \n\n\n\nThe series was established in honor of artist Fredi Schiff Levin\, an active member of Provincetown’s arts community from the 1960s until her passing in 2002.

These pieces favor rich\, mellow instrumental hues and autumnal maturity of expression\, with melancholy opening themes that resolve into quiet nobility—a farewell to a musical language Bruch had perfected across a lifetime. Aram Khachaturian’s Trio\, composed in 1932 while still a student at the Moscow Conservatory\, answers with a younger voice steeped in a different inheritance: a blend of classical form with exotic folk elements that speaks of Eastern Eurasian traditions. Where Bruch distills\, Khachaturian ornaments—his rhapsodic first movement unfolds through gypsy-like improvisations\, and his finale spirals through variations on Uzbek folk melody. \n\n\n\nNearly sixty years on\, Nicola LeFanu’s Lullaby for clarinet and piano and Nocturne for cello and piano (1988) return to intimacy and restraint. Written in an era that has absorbed both her predecessors\, these miniatures speak quietly but assuredly: music that honors the clarinet and cello as human voices in conversation\, yet in a contemporary idiom stripped to essentials. Together\, these three works chart a shared chamber ideal—the belief that truth lives in melody\, color\, and close musical dialogue. \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\nNino Rota\, Trio for Clarinet\, Cello and Piano (1973) \n\n\n\nNicola LeFanu\, Nocturne for cello and piano and Lullaby for clarinet and piano (1988) \n\n\n\nMax Bruch\, Pieces for Clarinet\, Cello and Piano\, Op. 83 \n\n\n\nArtists: \n\n\n\nSangwon Lee\, clarinet \n\n\n\nJoseph Gotoff\, cello \n\n\n\nYundu Wang\, piano \n\n\n\nThe Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival at PAAM brings world-class chamber music to Provincetown through an intimate concert series that uniquely integrates with the museum’s visual art exhibitions.

Where Brahms distills German Romanticism to its reflective essence — hushed yearning themes\, tender slow movements\, and a quietly resolved finale — Coleridge-Taylor answers with ardent\, songlike writing that is formally assured yet emotionally generous\, blossoming from poised opening themes to a hopeful\, affirmative close. Though separated by nationality and experience\, both composers treat the clarinet as a human narrator in intimate dialogue with the string quartet\, and together these two quintets chart a shared chamber ideal: music that speaks close and true. \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\nSamuel-Coleridge Taylor\, Clarinet Quintet (1906) \n\n\n\nBrahms Clarinet Quintet (1891) \n\n\n\nArtists: \n\n\n\nSangwon Lee\, clarinetGrant Houston and Yoonhee Lee\, violins\,Anna Griffis\, violaJoseph Gotoff\, cello \n\n\n\nThe Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival at PAAM brings world-class chamber music to Provincetown through an intimate concert series that uniquely integrates with the museum’s visual art exhibitions.

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.
