About Art Strand :

A group of Provincetown artists, twelve in all. Six are year rounders, the other five spend the majority of their summers here. Some have connections to the very beginnings of Provincetown as an art colony. Others are fixtures in the art community, sitting on boards and committees of the Fine Arts Work Center, The Provincetown Art Association & Museum, Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, and the Provincetown Community Compact.

Over half of us are art instructors. Most have been showing at DNA Gallery, or other prominent local galleries, for the past five to twenty years. The majority are also represented nationally, from San Francisco to New York City. In short we are a cultural cross section of a Provincetown generation. We all have a stake in the town's legacy, its relevance and its future as a pillar and certain haven for the creative jumble we call the Art World. From its beginning Provincetown has held a prominent position in the American arts. We are a group committed to this endeavor and a catalytic focus for the best that American artists have to offer.
