lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 58:26

This week, we welcome Provincetown artist and Fine Arts Work Center arts administrator Naya Bricher ahead of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) annual gala, where she will be honored for Excellence in the Arts. Bricher describes her colorful oil paintings rooted in joy, featuring digitally collaged and projected imagery such as desserts, animals, and hands, influenced by childhood freedom with color, toile patterns, dreams, and artists like David Hockney. She recounts growing up in Connecticut with artist parents, studying painting/photography/printmaking at Smith College, first coming to Provincetown as a 2012 FAWC intern, and later building community through work, Zumba, and relationships.

Driven by Passion with Gabby Hanna

lundi 17 août 2026 • Durée 37:42

Provincetown arts patron and fundraiser Gabby Hanna joins us this week as we talk about her background and work building platforms for the arts. Hanna, raised in Boston by an artist-psychologist mother and engineer-musician father, studied music before transferring to Barnard; after a friend’s AIDS-related death, she shifted toward nonprofit development, AIDS work, politics, and activism, including running Carolyn Goodman’s foundation and producing a youth activism documentary shown at the Provincetown International Film Festival. Reconnecting with Provincetown, she joined the Provincetown International Film Festival around 2000, became executive director in 2004 for about a decade, and is now board president. She recounts the festival’s origins, its focus on “filmmakers on the edge,” notable guests, Oscar-qualifying shorts status, year-round cinema programming at Water’s Edge, and the Gabriel Hanna Film Institute’s residencies. She also discusses co-producing theater and film and receiving an upcoming Provincetown Theater award.

One Year Anniversary - The Past, Present, and Future of the Art Colony

lundi 10 août 2026 • Durée 54:17

Happy one year to The Art Colony! This week, we had a live recording hosted by Provincetown Commons and the Provincetown Art Gallery Association, noting 60+ guests, about 15,000 downloads across all U.S. states and many countries, grants from the Provincetown Economic Development Council and the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and listener donations. Joined by Jill Rothenberg-Simons (OnCenter Art Gallery), Gavin Kennedy (Emergent Art Advisory), and Christine McCarthy (PAAM), the panel discusses future-focused trends including climate-change-driven and multidisciplinary work, recycled and repurposed materials, AI and technology, and a renewed emphasis on craft and authenticity. They stress sustaining institutions, galleries, and affordable housing, encourage buying art and supporting funds like the Commons’ Benji Fund, and predict continued reinvention, year-round arts activity, and Provincetown’s role as a creative safe haven. Audience Q&A covers post-COVID gallery shifts to online visibility, supporting nontraditional artists and venues, bringing Provincetown artists beyond town, balancing local and outside artists, and PAAM’s growing 12x12 fundraiser show.

The Wild West of the East with Michael Joseph

lundi 3 août 2026 • Durée 59:24

Portrait photographer, Michael Joseph, joins us this week to bring us on a journey through his work documenting subcultures through long-term projects. He describes discovering photography at the New England School of Photography and shifting from studio work to street portraits, with a pivotal Las Vegas image sparking his decade-long “Lost and Found” project on the modern traveler subculture, built through trust, repeated encounters, and communication via social media; he notes ethical challenges and backlash around media exposure and explains his book used travelers’ own words. He then discusses his eight-year Provincetown series “Wild West of the East,” inspired by Norman Mailer’s book, shot with a vintage Polaroid Big Shot and often in an alley by Marine Specialties, including a Twenty Summers residency that produced a large wheatpaste mural. With pack film expired and scarce, he’s finishing the project and launching a Kickstarter (starting July 14) with MW Editions to publish a curated book.

FΔg BΔsh and Fashion Shows with Jimmy Lee Curtis

lundi 27 juillet 2026 • Durée 55:31

Multidisciplinary artist Jimmy Lee Curtis (aka Mama Lee) joins us this week, kicking off by highlighting Momma Lee’s Fashion Show. Curtis explains his name’s origins at the Birch House, his path from Michigan to Atlanta to 1980s London fashion/textile study, and how the alternative London scene (including Vivienne Westwood and Leigh Bowery) influenced his aesthetic. He recalls British Vogue selecting one of his scarves for a Morocco shoot featuring Christy Turlington. After moving from West Hollywood to Provincetown, he describes the Birch House as a community hub and his role in the long-running Wednesday-night FΔg BΔsh, including themes and the Miss FΔg BΔsh pageant. He outlines his current work (painting, Polaroids, hand-painted silk scarves, upcycled fashion and hats) and how a Provincetown Commons residency led to starting the fashion show with Dave LaFrance in 2021, now expanded to include other designers; this year’s theme is “London Calling,” with the fundraiser show on Saturday, August 22 at 7:00 and tickets at provincetowncommons.com.

The Conqueror of Cashmere with Daniel Hammond

lundi 20 juillet 2026 • Durée 59:12

This week, we interviewed fashion and textile artist Daniel Hammond, a cashmere sweater designer with 25 years’ experience who studied at Parsons and worked for major 7th Avenue names including Emanuel Ungaro, Nautica, Oscar de la Renta, and Perry Ellis. He describes early sewing influences from his mother and grandmother, his technical approach to construction and knitwear, and mentorship that led him to specialize in men’s cashmere. He recounts first visiting Provincetown in 2011, buying a home in 2020 during the COVID shutdown, and opening his shop on 364 Commercial Street in fall 2021 (formerly Plush), later rebranding under his name as production shifted to primarily in-house, small-batch, hand-touched work. The conversation highlights limited runs, direct-to-consumer value, and major artist collaborations, including Gaston’s “Eclipse” sweater and projects with Trevor Makula, plus upcoming shows with Lindsay Porter (starting July 3) and Jared Heslip (late August).

Helen Frankenthaler in Provincetown with Elizabeth Smith

Elizabeth Smith, founding executive director of the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, joins us this week to talk about painter Helen Frankenthaler and her connection to Provincetown. She explains the foundation’s origins, assets, and mission to promote understanding of visual arts.

50th Episode Celebration: The Eras of Gaston Lacombe with Joe Wolley

lundi 6 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:36:18

In episode 50 of The Art Colony podcast, former journalist Joe Woolley interviews our host, Gaston Lacombe. Gaston, a Canadian-born artist and American citizen, recounts earning history degrees in Ottawa, living 16 years in Latvia in roles from teacher and newscaster to embassy cultural work, becoming the first head of Latvia’s national LGBT organization, and leaving amid threats. In Washington, DC he earned a photography degree, worked as a photojournalist, and created the globally published Captive Project documenting animal welfare in zoos. After first visiting Provincetown in 2016, he left his marriage, moved there, and opened a Whaler’s Wharf studio in 2018. He describes evolving from mixed-media photography to hard-edge painting, his tape-and-color-code construction process, and how the podcast deepened his community ties, spotlit a thriving, largely queer-driven art colony, and led to plans for a July 21 live anniversary event.
