Join Mark Adams for a walk around Provincetown’s waterfront with personal sketchbooks in part 2 of 3 of Ecosystems & Imagination, an artist’s interactive approach to future/present visions of the sea coast in the face of sea level rise, and the vulnerability of public space. 

Meet at the Center for Coastal Studies Kiosk at MacMillan Pier for a field tour of public spaces and former wharves of Provincetown Harbor. Mark will provide brief instructions on drawing methods. Please bring your own materials, limited supply will be available. 

What are the ecosystems near the water, both human and nature based? What is public space at the coast for? How will we live here in the future? What will allow this way of life to continue equitably? Markets and festivals, promenades, concerts, waterfront recreation (beachcombing, fishing, launching boats, relaxing, walking dogs, weather watching, science) The cycle of days: sunrises, sunsets, views, markers, identity.

Presented by Mark Adams and Traven Pelletier, in partnership with the Center for Coastal Studies.

Presented by Twenty Summers, Cape Cod Modern House Trust and Forum 24

Since it’s founding in 2007 the Cape Cod Modern House Trust (CCMHT) has leased and restored four NPS-owned, modern houses that had been slated for demolition. These low-budget, high concept structures have now been re-launched as platforms for new creative and scholarly work. 

CCMHT Founding Director, Peter McMahon, will lead this tour of two re-built and refurnished houses, plus the soon-to-be restored Marcel Breuer House, which has suffered from decades of neglect, but is entirely original. 

The tour includes:

The Kugel/Gips House  designed by Charlie Zehnder. 1970

The Weidlinger House  designed by Paul Weidlinger. 1953

The Breuer House  designed by Marcel Breuer.  1949 /61 /67.

We will meet at Newcomb Hollow Beach parking lot in Wellfleet at 12.30pm

Parking is free.
