Fine Arts Work Center - Nurture Artists Shape Our Culture

Arts and Entertainment

October 21, 2022

From: Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown

October Update / Our 2022-2023 Fellows are Here!

We know the Fall season has officially started when our new cohort of Fellows are settling into their apartments at 24 Pearl Street and residences at Brewster Street. Along with our new Visual Arts and Writing Coordinators, the group welcomed the season by hiking to the historic dune shack at C-Scape, catching the sunset at Race Point beach, foraging with avid locavore Elspeth Hay, and enjoying a recent tour of the Center for Coastal Studies.

In addition to the new cohort, we have Stephen Pace Artist in Residence Sara Stern transforming the Hudson D. Walker Gallery into her studio and performance space. You'll also find us pinning our new multi-year strategic plan in our offices to remind us of the wonderful work ahead. 

“I’m making a series of plein air stop motion animations set against the Provincetown dunes. Over the course of these two months, I’m filming improvised choreographies that respond to specific locations with puppets made of materials that reflect, refract, and tint light, unsettling what is visible within each frame. I’m thinking about this residency as an opportunity to truly experiment with the queer and art histories of this landscape and with public and private, as well as live versus recorded performance.”

Over six months in 2022, the Fine Arts Work Center engaged more than 100 stakeholders in a community-driven strategic planning process that included surveys, group conversations, and one-on-one interviews. We are pleased to share the outcome of this dedicated effort to create the organization’s first written, multi-year strategic plan.
