$20 Suggested Donation

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.
