The occasion includes events honoring the original Forum and illuminates the connections between modern art and the cultural and artistic changes that still resonate in the world today. All artists are members of Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM) and/or Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM).

About Forum 49

Held in Provincetown in 1949, Forum 49 was a pivotal project of modernists at the center of a debate over the avant-garde and American artistic values. A summer-long series of sophisticated programs were held in Provincetown, beginning with the forum “What Is An Artist?” and ending with the controversial “French Art vs American Art Today.” Record crowds attended the exhibits of paintings and programs focused on the avant-garde in many areas (architecture, psychoanalysis, poetry, jazz) all held in a gallery at 200 Commercial Street. 75 years after Forum 49, Provincetown artists continue to innovate, explore and interrogate how art exists in society.
