Beautiful pieces of art! This gallery is towards the much quieter end of Commercial St (again the…read morechoice of words "much" and "quieter" - which I am assuming is the case on commercial st - at times I guess!). The gallery is divided into 2 sections. Lounge / house music playing through a very un-boombox like boombox - not too loud, mixed very well with the cool and soothing vibe of the place - with walls all painted in neutral colors - mostly a hue of white mixed with light grey. They have art on display by artists from everywhere. Something very unlike PTown where most art galleries are either owned by local artists or display the work of local artists for the most part. While we were visiting, the left section - bigger of the two, had on display many paintings by Cassandra Complex (pics attached). What was really fascinating about these pieces - as the kind gentleman who was managing the gallery explained, was that the artist not only uses the usual methods of painting, brush on canvas - but finishes the work with strokes of paint applied / painted with playing cards. On a canvas that was work in progress right near the entrance, many a playing cards immersed in acrylics of different colors could be seen along with brushes. And the most astounding piece of information about this collection of faces of men in different moods and hence the names of the paintings was that - these were not portraits; as we thought they would be on first look. The artist painted them all with her imagination. Quite remarkable. The other half of the gallery had a good mix of displays from various other artists. The main exhibition in the left half clearly stood out for sure. A must visit. You never know what you may find that would catch your fancy!

Cortile art gallery is one of the most outstanding, diverse and beautiful galleries I have ever had…read morethe pleasure of discovering. They showcase the works of over 30 artists and the talent on display here shows more like a hall of fame of art as opposed to most galleries where the pickings can be slim, befuddling and perplexingly art challenged. Cortile offers many different forms of art from oil and acrylic paintings to metalworks, sculptures , encapsulated glass works of all types as well as many other forms of art. A visit to cortile is a kaleidoscope of color explosion that can only be matched by the most beautiful sunset on the ocean in conjunction with the majesty of a sunrise on a clear day. I have purchased many different pieces of art from cortile by a myriad of different artists over the years and my wife and I have enjoyed every single piece. Our favorite artists are Gail Fields , Al Davis and Benton Jones but every artist displayed In this gallery is very talented and amazing.

Another client of the gallery shared with me that this same painting is now being offered by the gallery again and, on Artsy, for $5000. Begs the question if it sold at auction for $500, how is it again worth $5000 in a retail gallery? This is a slap to the artist, who this gallery has represented for years and to collectors who should have the confidence gallery owners stand by their offerings. Stay away!

My boyfriend and I stopped by this gallery while visiting Provincetown. It's always been one of my…read morefavorites, and he fell in love with it just like I did the first time I was here. Thanassi, the owner of the gallery, goes by that singular name and is a Provincetown bon vivant. He is also the painter and mastermind behind those beautifully tranquil paintings dotting the outside and inside of the gallery space. His depictions of Herring Cove Beach, Long Point Light, and an unmoored dory come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes the dory is floating and sometimes, beached. It is always upright. From reading an interesting interview with the painter, he ultimately wants people to come home, kick back, and look at his paintings until "the feeling of being at the beach comes through." I highly suggest visiting this gallery and experiencing the paintings for yourself. The gallery hours vary slightly during off peak season, which is when we went. But generally, they are open from 11:00-8:00/9:00 pm during the fall months.

In addition to events they have all kinds of classes as well as yoga sessions available. This evening we went to a fascinating lecture presented by Mark Bittman and Doc Willoughby. Doc Willougby , who is also a good writer, interviewed Mark Bittman about his new book: Animal, Vegetable,Junk: A History of Food from Sustainable to Suicidal. The Truro Center sent us emails urging people to carpool since they were expecting a huge crowd snd Prior to the event, had the opportunity to speak with Susan Kai Schwartz , the Program Manager, who assured me that if I arrived thirty minutes early, I'd be able to find parking. When we arrived, the first person we met was Bruce Player, the Program Coordinator. Bruce greeted us like we were old friends, even though we had never met! He urged us to take our lawn chairs and find a good place to sit for the lecture and when I asked, don't you want to see my ticket?, Bruce assured me he'd find us but was more interested in our comfort. My wife and I were impressed with everything we experienced at the center. They served refreshments that were reasonably priced and while I had promised myself I wouldn't buy another book, Mark Bittman's talk was so stimulating and delightful, I felt we needed to read it immediately! The other wonderful aspect of the evening is that we didn't get one mosquito bite! They had a special machine that kept the mosquitoes away. The center also had beautiful restrooms inside their buildings. I strongly urge you to check out their website and make and plan to visit the Truro Center for the Arts when you are vacationing on the Cape.
