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. Field Trip will meet at Center for Coastal Studies Kiosk at MacMillan Pier.

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. Participants of this field trip will walk and examine the town’s harbor front and train an artist’s eye on how public space occurs, using sketching, description, data and measurement.
