 Bowersock Gallery will open its Provincetown doors with "The Preface" a salon style exhibition featuring a diverse collection of works by its stable and the introduction of two new artists. 

 The Preface opens with a reception on May 22, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and runs through June 24 at the Bowersock Gallery, 373 Commercial St., Provincetown, Mass.

 The two Bowersock "newcomers" are mature career artists who have developed strong voices. Helen Bess creates assemblage/sculpture that puts a personal, contemporary twist on tramp art. The work of Patrick McCay, an Irish born Scottish/American painter, combines abstract and figurative elements, which demonstrates his love of color and composition.

 Also featured, new works by surreal artist Steve Bowersock, an outstanding collection of Todd Bonita's sought-after boats (rare large canvas works), and new collection by Christopher Volpe.

 Bowersock exhibits works by more than three dozen outstanding regional and international fine art and craft artists working in myriad medium including bronze, metals, oil, acrylic, clay, mache, encaustic, textile, pastel, mixed media, photography and print making.
