Provincetown Public Art Foundation
One of the first projects launched by PPAF this past year is a life-sized bronze sculpture of Mary Heaton Vorse by Penelope Jencks that will be sited at her historic home thanks to current owner Ken Fulk. Here’s an early look at the maquette for the sculpture, Jencks is working in direct plaster for this model, and will tackle the full-scale work this way as well.
The Provincetown Public Art Foundation is dedicated to telling the story of Provincetown‘s, Past, Present and Future with Public Art.
The PPAF is proud to announce our first public art project will be a mural by Esteban Del Valle sited at Marine Specialties in Provincetown.

OUR GOALS
To act as a resource for Provincetown to fund the acquisition, placement and preservation of Public Art.
To attract new sources of arts revenue for the town to expand and strengthen the local art economy.
To identify artists and artwork (both permanent and temporary) suitable for location within the Town.
To develop a master plan of locations for the installation of public art.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The PPAF will strive to permanently locate within the Town of Provincetown, the finest public artwork available, and to bring a wide range of styles of public artworks to the Town so as to offer a diverse art experience to the community. Temporary installations also include works of a more challenging, fun and unusual nature. It is the intention of the PPAF to site works that will have lasting value and quality, expand the public’s knowledge and enjoyment of art, as well as to select pieces that will enhance the daily experience of visiting, living and working in the Town
