Our special occasion, "Fashion the Figure," opens Friday, September, 18th 7 to 9pm. Which will feature a mini fashion show of three select looks by Marc Jacobs, taken from the collection of Provincetown’s Marc by Marc Jacobs, 184 Commercial St., owned and operated by Robert Duffy, Jacobs’ longtime business partner. These three looks and three Louis Vuitton bags will be auctioned off, with proceeds from the items being donated to the Soup Kitchen in Provincetown, (SKIP).

The event will include a wine tasting with Wellfleet Wine Cellar and Spirits, and appetizers, donated by Farland Provisions.


What is interesting is how different the two art-forms look at the figure. Each looks to capture it and does so in very different ways. One arranges and arrests it in 2-dimention. The other enhances working with the form, draping it in art in real-time. Duffy will choose the looks for the Bowersock event based on the works of the exhibiting painters. “It’s gotten the artists very excited. They all plan on getting creative with this as

well.


The Marc Jacob’s fashions and Louis Vuitton bags are to be auctioned off, by silent auction, through the length of the show, starting Friday, September 4th, ending at noon sharp on Sunday, September 20. Bids will be taken at the gallery or by phone. No answering machine bids accepted. Check Website for rules.


The featured artists include Donna Harkins, Dennis Perrin and Gail Sauter. Each is a mature painter, with long careers marked by awards and recognition for their excellence, and each with a distinct look, differing from one another. Full Read>>>
