Provincetown, Massachusetts The Oldest Art Colony in the United States!

I live and work in Provincetown, Ma. which is the oldest art colony in the United States! Many fine artists make their home here. The PAAM: Provincetown Art Association & Museum, and also The Fine Arts Work Center are located in the center of town. Many Galleries show and sell the work of these member artists. It is a fine place to see and be seen if you have the opportunity to show your work here. I have been fortunate to have been invited to share a space here on Commercial St with an 89 year old Icon of Impressionist Painting. Her name is Ilona Royce-Smithkin. In September on the 4th, 2009 there will be a retrospective of some of her earliest works in oil at The John Lucas Gallery,437 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657. John also has produced a catalog of the show which can be purchased at: www.jlucasgallery.com. Ilona has quite a beautiful and varied portfolio which spans over 50 years that is on display at our Gallery: The Karilon Gallery, 447 Commercial St., Provincetown, MA 02657. My work can also be seen at: www.russophoto.com also on Facebook as "Angela Russo Fine Art Photography". This is a fan page where I showcase an image of the week with a short description of how I photographed it. Please take a look and send me an email if you like!
