The Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series welcomes artists, art historians, curators, and authors to speak at PAAM during the summer, both in conjunction with exhibitions and as independent scholars.

Co-curator and Center for Coastal Studies Scientist/Artist-in-Residence will lead a panel discussion as part of our Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series.

Persistent Curiosity: Charting the Rippled Fabric of the Sea marks the 50th anniversary of Provincetown’s Center for Coastal Studies. the exhibition draws on contemporary artists with a long connection to Provincetown’s marine history as well on works from PAAM’s permanent collection, including many donated by the late Napi and Helen Van Dereck. According to the curators, works were selected because they resonate with the show’s themes of whale biology, marine ecology, coastal landforms and working life by the sea.
