Today, Cape Cod’s naturally spectacular environment and cultural community continuously draw people from across the globe. As John Taylor Williams wrote, this was true over 100 years ago as well.  “Beginning around 1910, those dedicated to radical political reform, a new exploration of personal relationships free from Victorian strictures, and a search for the new ‘American’ voice in writing, painting, architecture, and theater congregated . . .” —The Shores of Bohemia, A Cape Cod Story, 1910-1960
 
Honoring this history and celebrating contemporary creators, the Addison Art Gallery has developed "Beyond Bohemia”—multi-media efforts including art exhibitions, book signings, panels, music, live model painting, and plein air gatherings. Work by dozens of artists from across the United States and abroad will be shown in changing exhibits. Artists, authors, actors, historians interested in joining are invited to email helen@addisonart.com for details and to make arrangements.
 
Cape Cod has long offered a plethora of opportunities for these diverse endeavors. “Few travelers are experts in American history or architecture, in geology, Atlantic coast fishing, the modern theater, antiques, painting and marine biology. And yet when you visit the Cape all these are at hand, tied up in a tight, neat piece of country smelling of pine and offered you at the Canal Bridge like a prize box. There is so much packed into a small space in that magnificent yet cozy world called Cape Cod that fires the imagination. You want to know a lot of things, all kinds of things on sea and land.” —Down Cape Cod by Katherine Dos Passos and Edith Shay (written in 1936)
 
As works for the exhibits are completed, they will be posted here.
