A work by FAWC fellow Elizabeth Mooney.
Generations of Art
Work by young and old, emerging and celebrated artists
January 25th, 2010
The vitality of Provincetown’s arts culture is on vivid display at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum this winter, as current exhibits showcase the talents of established, emerging and beginning artists.
| Also on display are more than 30 works by the celebrated artists Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed. |
|
One exhibit features the work of the Fine Arts Work Center’s visual art fellows Nadia Ayari, Matt Bollinger, Robin Mandel, Elizabeth Mooney, Sarah Peters, Martin Smick, Kirsten Ulrich, Jacob Yanes, Taylor Baldwin and Leslie Murray.
Every year, the center offers seven-month fellowships to emerging writers and visual artists, whose new energies invigorate the Outer Cape arts scene. The fellows’ work will be on display until Feb. 28.

Meanwhile, the museum is also populated until Feb. 7 with works that beginning high school artists created in response to pieces from its extensive collection. Through the Art Reach program, students from Provincetown High School and Nauset Regional High School wrote poetry and prose, composed music and made sculptures and etches. The exhibit of the resulting works is titled Mirror Mirror, in reference to the tradition of studying works of art and creating an original response.
Also on display are more than 30 works by the celebrated artists Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed. Both made important contributions to the development of Abstract Expressionism in America, and were members of PAAM for nearly 50 years.
The paintings, sketches and mixed-media pieces on display until March 7 are part of a collection given to the museum by the Lillian Orlowsky/William Freed Family Foundation in 2009.
One more exhibit currently on display also highlights how the vibrancy of Provincetown’s arts culture has sustained for decades. Surveying the last 100 years, the exhibit features work from families in which multiple generations have made artistic contributions.
The families represented include the Whorf-Westcott-Kelly family, the Bohm-Packard family, the Vevers-Halvorsen family, the Del Deo family, the Poor family, the Schor family, the Richter family, the Brown-Malicoat-Lord-Dunigan family and the Henry-Treiff family, among others. The exhibit is on display until Feb. 14.
