Provincetown Art Collection


Voting day is a special event, in Provincetown the whole town gathers together for this joyful event.  Attending  town hall is like going to one of the greatest small museums in the country. Being the oldest art colony in America we have the widest collection of Provincetown art here in our town hall. Two of the painting on the top are some of the mud head demonstrations of Charles Hawthorne. Below it I included one of Hawthorne's famous fisherman paintings. Then there are two early paintings of Henry Hensche.
Every office in town is a special room of Art. Blanche Lizzell and Max Bohm are all among  the artist's in this famous collection.
I often bring student's who are from out of town here while they are taking my workshop.
There is always something to learn from these paintings and it's free!
