The Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is a renowned institution that was established in 1914 by a collaborative effort between artists and townspeople. Its primary mission was to develop a permanent collection of artworks by outer Cape Cod artists and promote community unity through art exhibitions. As an integral part of the Provincetown Art Colony, PAAM embodies the essence of what makes Provincetown a thriving American hub for the arts.

It stands as Cape Cod's most widely-attended art museum, drawing in both locals and visitors. Recognizing the growing interest in the region's contribution to American art history, PAAM continuously presents a dynamic array of exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and cultural events. These offerings seek to foster appreciation for all forms of fine arts, which Provincetown is renowned for.

PAAM is an equal opportunity provider and employer. If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact Lesley Marchessault, the Chief Development Officer. Visit the museum at its picturesque location on Commercial Street in Provincetown, MA.

General admission is $15, but PAAM members and children 16 and under enjoy free entry. The museum is open Wednesday-Monday from 11am to 5pm (with extended hours until 8pm on Fridays), while closed on Tuesdays.
