Join the Arts Foundation as we celebrate our 2024 Artist of the Year Julia Cumes at a pop-up exhibit at Twenty Summers Annex on Commercial Street.
During this free event, you’ll have a chance to learn about Julia’s art, her passion for telling stories through photography, and see several of her awe-inspiring photos, including “Wild Oyster Harvester, Wellfleet,” a piece the Arts Foundation will be auctioning off at their Arts Gala on June 6th.
The celebration is taking place on Friday, May 24, 5-7 PM, at 494 Commercial Street in Provincetown, behind the School House Gallery and below WOMR.

The event coincides with the Provincetown Art Gallery Stroll which gives the public an opportunity to explore nearly two dozen galleries along Commercial and Bradford streets, between 6 and 9 PM.

A graduate of Brandeis University, Cornell University, and Syracuse University, Julia’s work has been published in the New York Times, Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, Associated Press, and USA Today.
