Paul Schulenburg at the St. Botolph Club

The solo show of Paul Schulenburg’s work at Boston's St. Botolph Club will run from December 2, 2026 through January 7, 2027. Approximately 30 paintings, most previously not seen, are in the exhibition.

The St. Botolph Club, located at 199 Commonwealth Avenue, was founded in 1880. It promoted the "new art" of its time and, as such, sponsored John Singer Sargent's first one-man show in America in 1888. Works by Claude Monet were displayed in 1892, 1895, and 1899.

By 1900, the club had sponsored solo exhibitions of virtually every important American Impressionist of the era, including Childe Hassam, Theodore Wendel, John L. Breck, Edmund Tarbell, and Mary Cassatt.

The club is a private organization. The public is welcome to view the exhibition on Wednesday afternoons from 2-4 p.m.

Paul Schulenburg  (1957-)

Paul Schulenburg attended Boston University College of Fine Arts where he earned his BFA degree in painting in 1979, an educational foundation that emphasized the fundamentals of classical art training: anatomy and form, color, composition and draftsmanship.

In the 1980s and ‘90s Paul created artwork for publication. His work won many awards and was published worldwide. Clients included: Digital, Cigna, Fidelity, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sunoco, TIME, U.S. News and World Report, The Wall Street Journal, Cahners, Prentice Hall, Houghton Mifflin and Ziff-Davis.

In the first month he showed at Addison Art Gallery, the market response enabled him to devote all of his time to fine art. He has had solo shows and been involved in many group shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and his work is in their permanent collections.

His painting of a Cape Cod fisherman, Shoveling Ice, was the cover art for American Art Collector magazine; Fine Art Connoisseur magazine featured his work in 2021. Schulenburg is a member of the Salmagundi Art Club NYC, Oil Painters of America, and Portrait Society of America. In 2020 an impressive book of over 100 oil paintings was published recognizing 20 successful years represented by Addison Art Gallery.

"I started visiting Cape Cod annually with my parents when I was five. I fell in love with the sun and sand and ocean waves, and cherished our annual trip to Provincetown. I loved seeing the galleries and the artists along Commercial Street. The history and energy of Cape Cod and Provincetown has been an inspiration for countless artists for well over a hundred years, celebrated and chronicled by the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Now, decades later, I am honored to be a part of this thriving arts community.” —Paul Schulenburg
