These pieces represent the enduring creative legacy of the Provincetown Art Colony.

A carefully selected exhibition schedule balances contemporary and historic works of art.

The Museum Store at PAAM carries catalogs, books, notecards and DVDs to complement this exhibition.

January 15-February 7, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, January 15, 6-8pm
An exhibition created by the participants of Art Reach, the after-school program
at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.

Featuring works from PAAM's permanent collection and original works of music, prose, poetry and art, t
his exhibition represents the latest installment of PAAM's award-winning Curating Program, which asks participants to engage with works of art from the museum's permanent collection in unique and creatively challenging ways.
Art Reach participants were encouraged to explore the media of their choice, and to write interpretive texts, including poetry and prose, in response to works they'd chosen from the collection. Participants are students from Provincetown High School and Nauset Regional High School.

The results are rich and varied: a musical composition; a story populated with time-bending superheroes and an über villain; dry point etching; assemblages and figurative sculpture; a textual installation; drawings; and a narrative response to the loss and suffering resulting from the AIDS epidemic.

KewiThe members of the 2009-10 Art Reach Program are: T.K. Dahill, Hannah Jennings, Jared King, Raymond Le Duc, Arianna Martinez, Heidi McLellan, Alejandra Ortega, Megan Ritchie, and Kaitlyn "Kewi" Russell. The title of the exhibition, Mirror Mirror, refers to the traditional method of studying works of art and creating original works in response. PAAM is grateful to this group of talented individuals, whose interests and gifts energize and enrich the organization.

In 1992 the Curating Program was established to introduce local children and youth to the rich artistic heritage of Outer Cape Cod. Since that time over seventy exhibitions have been created by first - through twelfth-grade students and educators from the outer Cape Cod.
PAAM is grateful to the educators and administrators who have supported the creation of Art Reach and innovative, collaborative arts and education programs year-round. In particular we thank Principal Kim Pike and Superintendent Beth Singer of the Provincetown School System, as well as Nancy Flasher and Lisa Fox; Marty Menangas of the Provincetown Police Department; Project ACCESS Director Greg White, Assistant Principal, Dr. Paul Markovich, Ginny Ogden, Principal Thomas Conrad and Superintendent, Dr. Richard J. Hoffmann of the Nauset School District.

Student WorkThe Art Reach program is a FREE after school immersion program at PAAM, providing substantive out-of-school arts, humanities, and interpretive science opportunities, in partnership with the Provincetown School System, the Nauset School System and the Provincetown Police Department. Art Reach is supported in part by the Provincetown Police Association, Peter Petas and Ted Jones, The Aeroflex Foundation, Conwell Ace Hardware & Lumber Co. Inc, D. Flax Inc., and the Massachusetts Cultural Council Youth Reach Grant Program.
