Art Reach
Art Reach is a free multidisciplinary afternoon immersion program offered by the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), providing substantive arts and humanities education for youth aged 15 years and up, in partnership with the Provincetown School System, the Nauset School System, Nauset Youth Alliance, Provincetown Community Television, and the Provincetown Police Department. Art Reach combines a project-based, youth-centered curriculum with classroom instruction in a variety of disciplines. The two-semester program runs October through mid-May and meets three afternoons per week—Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday—culminating with an exhibition in PAAM’s galleries. Youth may register for one or both semesters.

Art Reach is supported in part by Peter Petas and Ted Jones, the Aeroflex Foundation, the Massachusetts Cultural Council - a state agency, Nauset Youth Alliance , the National Endowment for the Arts , which believes that a great nation deserves great art, and in partnership with the Provincetown and Nauset school systems, the Provincetown Police Department, and Provincetown Community Television.
What happens in Art Reach? |
|
Art Reach combines structure and freedom. Planned activities such as lectures on art, films, group activities, music, graphic novels, video production, gallery talks, figure drawing or painting, and creative collaborations are coupled with time to identify and realize individualized projects. AR students have written original music; learned dry point etching, monoprint and silk screen printing; written and illustrated graphic novels and comics; worked on fiction and poetry; interpreted works of art from PAAM’s museum collection; created large and small figurative sculpture; created tattoo designs, video, photography and content for the Art Reach Website. Student work is then featured and celebrated in PAAM’s galleries in May.
