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.

PAAM will be closed for a private event this evening at 5pm, and reopening with free admission from 7-8pm.

We are hosting three days of art-making in the Hawthorne Barn with our friends from Twenty Summers. Following a brief lecture on the legacy of Charles Hawthorne in Provincetown, teacher John Clayton will give a painting demonstration and supervise three full days of painting in the Barn. Coffee and lunch will be provided. Students can choose to enroll for either the first day as a stand-alone class, or for all three days.
