Arts on the Cape

From PAAM in Provincetown to the Falmouth Art Center, Cape Cod has so much to see and do in the arts.  Arts and crafts shows pop up all over during the summer - enough on some weekends to keep you hopping from morning to night.  There is no way one blog post can cover all of it - so we will just look at some of the more major spots to fill your heart with art.

Exciting opportunities for women on Cape Cod

March being Women's History month, it seems like the right time to talk about some wonderful women-centric events and groups here on Cape Cod: The SheArt Network, Cape Women Online, and Geek Girls Camp '11.
The SheArt Network is a nonprofit here on the Cape that, as stated on their web site, provides "a supportive, creative environment where women share ideas, learn new artistic techniques, create and sell SheArt products and help women in transition."

Crafting for a cause or for fun

Crafting during these Cape Cod winter days, is a great way to spend time when the wind is gusting over 30 knots and the chill off the ocean makes you seek refuge inside.  The arts and crafts are thriving here on the Cape and what is better then doing a craft and helping out a great cause at the same time.
It turns out that Cape Cod Cooperative Bank is helping to support one of these great crafting for a cause programs: Project Linus (yes that's Linus like in Charlie Brown).  Project Linus was started in 1995, to provide seriously ill or traumatized children with warmth and security through the gift of handmade afghans and blankets.  You can read more about project Linus here.
