Season Twelve Twenty Summers, rooted in Provincetown’s Hawthorne Barn, celebrates artistic freedom, offering resources, residencies, and a platform for originality and innovation, honoring its rich legacy.

Join Mark Adams in using art, science and personal stories to explore visions of the sea coast in the face of coastal change, and the vulnerability of public space.

Provincetown makes a great case study of how dynamic coastlines evolve as the forces of tides and storms interact with the financial risk to its historical and cultural fabric. This workshop is the followup to Ecosystems & Imagination Field Trip, where participants will bring their field observations into the Stanley, Twenty Summers’ 494 Commercial Street space, to share how nature has molded our autobiographies. The participants will be asked to contribute selected personal stories about coastal life, it’s daily routines and extraordinary events.
