June 3, 2020 — We want to let you know about a new coalition of Provincetown Art Galleries that are working together to provide information about how to safely engage with the arts in the nation’s oldest continuous art colony. The Ptown Gallery Stroll is working collectively to ensure that art collectors, buyers and visitors realize that Provincetown galleries are operating in the current health crisis and travel conditions. This important alliance of small business and its new web site guide people through our spaces, both virtually and physically, and offer safe assistance with viewing and purchasing art. On www.ptowngallerystroll.com you can see streaming content from over 30 art galleries, obtain information about how to safely visit the galleries in person and how to continue to engage with arts and culture in Provincetown in new ways. We are committed to following safety protocols and to extending a warm invitation to discover or continue to explore the material culture, townscape and the natural beauty of Provincetown and the Outer Cope.
For more information about how our small businesses are partnering with the creative community on the Outer Cape visit our website www.ptowngallerystroll.com

Saltwater Serpent
“Our goal is to represent Provincetown through the amazing work of local artists who carry on the traditions of this community.” said Sawyer. The small but endearing space offers works from the owner as well as pieces from noted craftspeople including Provincetown artist Gail Browne and master woodcarver Mike Orbe.
The property itself is an icon of Provincetown. Originally built in 1860, it’s been home to family businesses for generations. Sawyer’s great-grandfather ran his barbershop there and also sold eggs and poultry from the family farm that once thrived on the grounds. There may even have been a little business transacted with products from a home still during the days of prohibition!
Now Sawyer has taken the next step with Saltwater Serpent. The offerings are an eclectic collection of treasures that pay tribute to the artistic traditions of Provincetown influenced by the nautical history of Cape Cod. Be sure to check out the sweet little spot on Commercial Street!
