Those Crazy 12 x 12's at PAAM
August 5, 2009

Now THAT'S an opening reception!

Nathalie Ferrier's piece
Every summer the Provincetown Art Association and Museum does a very successful fundraiser; artists are invited to bring in a piece measuring 12” x 12”, everything is hung mega salon-style in one of the big, airy rooms in the museum and a silent auction goes on for a month.

my 12 x 12 - encaustic, monoprint, etc.
The opening reception is a  colossal must-attend scrum of artists and art lovers. Everyone participates, from the amateurs to many of the big names in these parts. To bid, you buy a paddle for $10 and drop in periodically during the month to see how your bids are faring and decide whether to go higher. It gets really interesting and competitive in a passive-aggressive kind of way on the last day or two.
