Provincetown Art Association and Museum presents
the 2011 Orlowsky and Freed

Grant Recipients

Three American painters over the age of 45 win $10,000 each plus an exhibition

Provincetown, MA: Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is proud to announce the 2011 Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant recipients Joan Ryan of East Boston, MA; Karen Cappotto of Provincetown, MA; and Deborah Martin of Twentynine Palms, CA.

The recipients were each awarded $10,000 and a three person exhibition at PAAM in fall 2012.

There were more than 250 applicants, hailing from 32 states and two countries. Applicants ranged in age from 45 to 84, and were 59% female and 41% male.

The late Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed were former students of Hans Hofmann who studied with him in both New York and Provincetown. They were very active at PAAM as artist members, instructors in the summer school, and they served on a variety of committees throughout their 50 years on Cape Cod. Lillian, in particular, was sensitive to the challenges artists face, especially those working against the mainstream or outside of popular schools of art. Her desire to provide financial support to mature artists through this generous endowment gift speaks to her passionate commitment to art for art's sake and art created regardless of the demands and whims of the marketplace.

Welcome to the family of Cape School friends and supporters!

We have been very busy over the past year reorganizing as a non-profit, and making plans to once again be the school where serious artists come to learn Charles Hawthorne's and Henry Hensche's method of seeing and painting color.

Last year, our first annual fundraising auction gave us enough operating capital to continue through the
winter and to plan a rich curriculum for the 2011 season. We are hoping this year's auction will be even more successful!

We invite you all to come and help us celebrate the successful first season of the reborn Cape School
of Art!

Sincerely,
Hilda Neily
President

HutsonGalleryis pleased to announce, in conjunction with Provincetown's 10Days of Art ~ Celebrating America's Oldest Continuous Art Colony, anexhibition and demonstration of ACEO, a variation of artist tradingcards by Provincetown artist John O'Shea.

ArtistTrading Cards (ATC) are miniature works of art about the size of amodern baseball card that were originally traded or exchanged amongartists. A variation of ATC is ACEO (Art Cards, Editions andOriginals) developed when art cards were sold to the general public.The ACEO website, http://www.art-cards.org,provides an interesting history of the ATC. ACEOs have one main rule:they must be 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.ACEOs are sold as originals or editions and can be created in anymedium.

Provincetownartist John O'Shea has been creating and selling ACEOs for many yearson EBay and at Provincia Gifts, located at 140 Commercial Street,which he founded in 1997 with Manuel A. Sousa.

John’sart covers a wide range of subjects, media and sizes but hewill be exhibiting his ACEO portfolio during the 10Days of Art. In addition, Johnwill demonstrate how he creates the cards. Hecombines eye-catching colors and textures in his abstract andfigurative paintings all adding to his intriguing and sometimesmystical creations. “My work is a reflection of my inner thoughts,happy memories, successes, regrets and dreams. My art is my music. Itprogresses, moves forward…and the last piece is always a departurepoint to a new creation that reflects my eager to experiment whileventuring into new territories”. And it is this eagerness toexperiment that led John to creating ACEOs.

JohnO'Shea was born in New York City in 1959. He moved to Ireland whenhe was 3 years old and only returned to the US when he was 19. Johnbegan painting when he was 10 and began to really develop hisartistic abilities when he moved to New York City, Provincetown, MAand Évora, Portugal. It was in Évora that most of his work wasdeveloped and admired in view of the time spent in the Alentejoespecially during the last 10 years.
