A Longtime Haven For The Free-Spirited Creative Types - Provincetown, MA
Provincetown is famously known as the location where the pilgrims first landed back in 1620, but today is a vibrant, thriving and diverse playground. Provincetown's history as an art community dates back to 1899, when Charles W. Hawthorne opened his Cape Cod School of Painting. Muscicians, artists and writers started to discover this hidden treasure which had beautiful scenery with wind-swept dunes, and the town’s wharves and a vibrant energy. Painters, playwrights, and poets embraced the town’s bohemian lifestyle. Some of the famous residents included writer Norman Mailer, playwright Eugene O’Neill, and artists Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and photographer Walker Evans, who documented the town’s architecture. Provincetown hosts popular events like Bear Week, Carnival and Spooky Bear as well as a Single Woman’s Weekend and Trans Week.
