The Fine Arts Work Center is just a few blocks from the White Porch Inn Art Hotel, the bed and breakfast that we make our home every trip to P-Town. We attended an artist panel discussion yesterday that was a real eye opener into the lives of people who paint, sculpture, and write. The FAWC features artist studios; live-work residences; the Michael Mazur Print Shop; a reading library and bookstore; the Stanley Kunitz Common Room and Hudson D. Walker Galleries, where they host year round readings, artist talks, exhibitions, and live performance.

The FAWC selects 20 Fellows to live and work in Provincetown from October 1 – April 30. The Fellowship is designed for emerging artists and writers to focus solely on their creative practice. Fellows share their work as part of the winter public program, which also includes lectures and readings from visiting artists and writers.

During late spring and early fall, past Fellows

and friends of the Work Center return to Provincetown for short term stays during our Returning Residency program, which offers artists and writers dedicated time to advance creative projects and ideas.

Summer Workshops

Every summer, they welcome students and faculty for a full season of open enrollment, multidisciplinary course offerings in literature, visual art, playwriting, and more. This program includes over 50 public events that are free and open to the community.

24PearlStreet Online Writing Workshops

All year, they offer online learning opportunities of varying lengths and skill levels through online writing program 24PearlStreet, where writers can work with esteemed poets, prose writers, and graphic novelists in small group, virtual settings.

Eliot and I plan to attend as many events at the FAWC as possible next summer. Thank you P-Town friends for introducing us to FAWC.
