Free Reception for 'Modernists' and 'Connections' Exhibitions at Cape Cod Museum of Art

The reception begins at 5:30 – 7 pm.  It is preceded by a Gallery Talk with former FAWC fellows Bailey Bob Bailey and Bill Evaul about their decision to stay on the Cape after their residency and about their work today.

CCMoA celebrates the 50^th Anniversary of the Fine Arts Work Center with this spotlight on artists who originally came to the Cape on fellowships to the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and decided to stay on the Cape and mature in their work.   They have continued finding new ways of seeing that reflect their personal directions in the contemporary art world.  The exhibit runs from June 1 – September 9.

The Fine Arts Work Center offers emerging artists from around the world the time and space to develop their art in Provincetown.  This exhibition celebrates both the extraordinary work of past Fellows and the Work Center’s core mission to sustain and invigorate the creative community of the Outer Cape.

In Modernists Out of the Mainstream, Cape Cod Museum of Art puts the spotlight on artists in its permanent collection who broke from tradition as they found new ways of looking at art during the 20^th Century. They were part of a dynamic movement influenced by European artists that moved America to the center of the art world.

Co-curator and Art Writer Deborah Forman will give a Gallery Talk on the show on June 14 at 1:15 pm.  Free with museum admission.
