Fundraising Events

The PAAM Party, 2021

PAAM hosts several fundraising events throughout the year that promote art, artists, and Provincetown.

Below are our core annual fundraisers, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. To see what’s coming up, visit our Events Calendar or join our Mailing List.

THE PAAM PARTY

PAAM’s largest fundraising event of the year! Celebrate PAAM in style and help PAAM honor artists and supporters for their work and dedication. This event is a great opportunity to show your support and have a great time doing it.

THE MEMBERS’ 12X12 EXHIBITION AND SILENT AUCTION

Every summer, PAAM members sell their artwork in The Members’ 12×12 Exhibition and Silent Auction, one of our biggest fundraisers that just so happens to be great for artists. Bidding starts at $125 for all pieces, and climbs by demand until the final seconds of the online silent auction.

BENEFIT AUCTION OF EARLY PROVINCETOWN ART

Held annually in September, PAAM’s Benefit Auction of Early Provincetown Art is one of our most significant yearly fundraisers, supporting our year-round educational offerings, exhibitions, and other cultural programming.

SECRET GARDEN TOUR

Typically centered around a certain area of town, guests are invited into gardens otherwise not open to the public where they can explore the flora and view stunning displays and sweeping vistas.

PROVINCETOWN FILM ART SERIES

Curated and hosted by Howard Karren, Editor At Large at the Provincetown Independent, the series brings art-house cinema to Provincetown during the community’s quieter months.
