The Provincetown Business Guild (@visitptown) is putting out a call to local Provincetown artists for this year’s Carnival poster!

…and the 2025 theme is Summer Camp!

We do not need actual poster designs at this time, simply submit a portfolio of sample works by March 7th.

The selected commissioned artist will be
notified by end of March and will receive
a $1000 honorarium, added value marketing and PR exposure.

Please submit portfolios and/or questions to: carmen@ptown.org

There is so much to love and appreciate about Provincetown all year long.

Our deeply rooted artist community is now expanding into a town-wide Winter Windows project in collaboration with @commonsptown and several local artists and businesses. Pictured here is ‘Love and Happiness’ by @couchsurfriot now on display at 227 Commercial Street.

Pop into several of our locally-owned gift shops, bookstores and boutiques this weekend like @ptownbookshop and @eastendbooksptown for your newest winter reads, @apressurfshop or @boardstiff_capecod for fun and cozy winter fashion or @utilitieshome and @shor_home for a pair of lovely new champagne flutes 🥂

Grab a little something special to fill those champagne flutes from @ptownperrys and locally made offerings from @trurovineyardsofcapecod 🍾

From Provincetown to our beloved community and welcomed visitors, we wish you all the love and happiness today and all year long ♥️

Happy New Year to you and yours from the proud lea

Happy New Year to you and yours from the proud leadership team, board and 300 members of the Provincetown Business Guild ✨

We have so much to look forward to in 2025 - but this also portends be a year of many challenges. Please remember that Provincetown isn’t just a one-of-kind vacation destination, but a community of residents and visitors whose love for the space serves as a beacon for the broader community. The experience of Provincetown is a resource for all LGBTQ+ people, so, through what’s to come, we need to work a little harder this year to lift one another up, make extra space for marginalized communities, and be sure Provincetown stays queer as possible…

Cheers to the many moments of unabashed joy on the streets of Provincetown yet to come!
