Given our location in the heart of the Gallery District, art lovers may explore dozens of venues presenting an extraordinary array of styles and mediums. The ptown “Gallery Stroll” takes place in the high season on Friday nights. Most gallery doors where stay open later into the evening, allowing you to leisurely stroll through some of the neighborhood gems. Some of our favorites include:
Of course, art enthusiasts should plan a visit to the Provincetown Art Association & Museum (PAAM), located just around the corner from the Inn at Cook Street. The PAAM was established in 1914 by a group of artists and townspeople to build a permanent collection of works by artists of outer Cape Cod, and to exhibit art that would allow for unification within the community.
