Fine Arts Work Center in Juxtapoz

In the Winter 2025 edition of Juxtapoz Magazine, Fine Arts Work Center is profiled for its legacy of fostering artists and writers in the creative haven of Provincetown — the nation’s oldest continuous art colony. In a Q&A, FAWC Executive Director Sharon Polli says, “It’s a pretty remarkable creative community nestled right in the heart of a national seashore and surrounded by sand dunes, open ocean and really interesting ecosystems that have inspired artists and writers for more than a hundred years, and I’m sure, beyond that as well…Whether you come for one week or a summer workshop at the Fine Arts Work Center, or you come for the seven-month residency, you do pretty quickly tap into the legacy of this place that has inspired artists from Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler, to the playwrights Eugene O’Neill and Tennessee Williams.”
