Provincetown Arts is an annual magazine published in midsummer that focuses on artists, performers and writers who inhabit or visit Lower Cape Cod and the cultural life of the nation's oldest continuous artists' colony in Provincetown.
Drawing upon a century-long tradition of art, theater and writing, Provincetown Arts publishes essays, fiction, interviews, journals, poetry, profiles, reporting, reviews and visual features.
[4] It was co-founded by artist Raymond Elman (1985-1990) and the late Christopher Busa, who remained the publisher and editorial director until his passing in 2020.
There was an exception to this format in 2014, when the magazine focused on the centennial celebration of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
[6] From 1986 to the present, Provincetown Arts has received over 100 Pushcart Nominations for Fiction, Nonfiction and Poetry.
