In these discordant times artists respond in innumerable ways. Niki de Saint Phalle said, “I realized that there is nothing more shocking than joy.”
By rummaging through your forgotten odds and ends in spare rooms, garages, or attics we invite you to bring whatever cast off materials you find to work with. Let’s combine these humble, careworn items or objects with scrap wood, and build mixed media sculptures that allow us to transform, react to, or embrace the moment.
Open to all, especially people with an interest in experimenting with wood. Please wear closed toe shoes or boots, and don’t forget your sense of humor!
Add a donation for an individual membership, family membership, or pay it forward to contribute to our scholarship program.
Paul Bowen received a fellowship from The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown in 1977 and continued to live on Cape Cod for thirty years. A passionate beachcomber and scavenger of all kinds of wood, his work can be found in many museum collections including The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Guggenheim Museum, New York; and The Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, Hanover NH. Now a resident of Vermont, he has been the recipient of awards from The Pollock Krasner Foundation, The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, and The Artists Resource Trust. His work is represented by Berta Walker Gallery, Provincetown, MA, Pulp in Holyoke, MA, and Mitchell Giddings in Brattleboro, VT.
