Readings and Exhibits in January
January 3rd, 2010
The Fine Arts Work Center knows the power of a Provincetown winter for artists.
| On Jan. 15, the ten new visual arts fellows for 2010 are presenting their work in an exhibit at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. |
|
Every year, the center offers fellowships to 20 emerging artists so that they can draw on the inspiration offered by the Outer Cape’s off-season. These artists, in turn, add to the vitality of the town’s art culture, staging readings and exhibits almost every week of the winter.
On Jan. 15, the ten new visual arts fellows for 2010 are presenting their work in an exhibit at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. An annual event, the exhibit at the museum, presents an opportunity to meet the new fellows and their work.
The same weekend, celebrated poets C.D. Wright and Forrest Gander will offer a reading at the Fine Arts Work Center at 8 p.m. on Jan. 16. Wright has published a dozen collections of poetry. The most recent include “Rising, Falling, Hovering” in 2008 and “Like Something Flying Backwards” in 2007.
Gander is a translator, essayist and editor of two anthologies of Mexican poetry, and the author of more than a dozen books, including most recently his 2008 novel “As a Friend.”
Next on Jan. 23, two of center’s literary fellows – Greg Schutz and Margaret Reges – will offer a reading of their works. Then, on Feb. 5, visual fellow Jacob Yanes will present an exhibit. All of the upcoming exhibits of visual fellows’ work will be held at the artSTRAND Gallery at 494 Commercial St. due to the renovation of the Days Lumberyard building at the work center.
The Fine Arts Work Center was established in 1968 by a group of Provincetown artists who wanted to create an organization that would help young artists during the tough beginning stages of their careers. Since then the center has been as prolific as its founders, expanding its mission to include a summer art workshop series that is internationally renowned.
