Calling all Educators - Reserve Your Field Trip Now
 FIRST THINGS FIRST will feature the works of more than fifty well-known Cape Cod artists, as they explore what is most important to them. This unique, free exhibit will introduce kids to the work of established artists from Cape Cod, while encouraging their own creativity through engaging educational activities during their visit.
Keeping younger arts patrons in mind, artwork will be displayed at a height of 4 feet throughout the exhibit - right at children's eye level - and a docent will be assigned to each group that schedules a visit.
FIRST THINGS FIRST will be on display January 9 - February 6, 2010 at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Based on advanced bookings for school visits and the popularity of previously presented exhibits, ROYGBIV, Self Portrait Cape Cod and When We Were Younger, we anticipate high demand again in 2010. School visits will be welcomed throughout the month-long exhibit, but availability is limited and tends to fill up quickly, so please reserve your date as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
For more information about the exhibit, or to schedule your group trip, please email cmacort@artsfoundation.org, call 508-362-0066 ext. 13 or visit www.artsfoundation.org/first-things-first.

Strangers in Strange Lands: Artists and Alienation in Fact and Fiction
 filmArt@PAAM presents a series of ten films beginning December 17, and continues
biweekly Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm through
April 29, 2010. No
screening on December 31; series skips a week for
New Year's.
Each
of the films will be screened at the Provincetown
Art Association and Museum (PAAM) with an
introduction and post-screening discussion led by
Howard Karren, a former editor of Premiere
Magazine.
The film series opens with Koyaanisqatis (1982) on December 17 at
6:30 pm, a visual poem which is set to original choral music by
Philip Glass and inspired by the titular Hopi
word, which translates to "life out of balance". The film
was shot almost completely in sped-up stop-motion
photography, and contrasts the organic rhythms of
nature with the frenetic and estranged world of
man. Director Godfrey Reggio, a Catholic monk
turned activist, spent seven years shooting the
film, which carries its environmentalist metaphor
far beyond earthly politics. USA; Color; 86
minutes
PAAM filmArt@PAAM is located at 460
Commercial Street, Provincetown. For more information call 508-487-1750 or visit www.paam.org.
