Provincetown Art Association and Museum 
Museums / Galleries, Provincetown
Fodor's Review:
Founded in 1914 to collect and show the works of artists with Provincetown connections, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) has a 1,650-piece permanent collection, displayed in changing exhibits that mix up-and-comers with established 20th-century figures, including Milton Avery, Philip Evergood, William Gropper, Charles Hawthorne, Robert Motherwell, Claes Oldenburg, Man Ray, John Singer Sargent, Andy Warhol, and Agnes Weinrich. Some of the work hung in the four bright galleries is for sale. The museum store carries books of local interest, including works by or about area artists and authors, as well as posters, crafts, cards, and gift items. PAAM-sponsored year-round courses (one day and longer) offer the opportunity to study under such talents as Hilda Neily, Franny Golden, and Doug Ritter. A stunning, contemporary wing was added in 2005, greatly expanding the exhibit space.
