WELLFLEET, Mass- The outer Cape Cod landscape has long served as muse for artists from around the world. In that spirit, Cape Cod National Seashore is now accepting applications for the 2024 season of Perspectives: Seeing Cape Cod National Seashore Through Art, a series of month-long exhibitions of artists who find inspiration from the seashore’s resources and stories, and whose works reflect the natural beauty, cultural significance, and recreational aspects of Cape Cod.

The exhibitions will take place between June 2024 and September 2024 at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham.

“The seashore is an ever-changing palette. In every season, in all weather, in the golden hours of the day, it inspires creativity and thoughtful contemplation.” said Superintendent Jen Flynn. “Opening the visitor center gallery space as a place to share the creative work of artists with the public is another way the seashore meets our mission to provide opportunities for current and future generations to experience, enjoy and understand the special cultural and natural features the seashore protects.”

Artwork accepted for the series should reflect seashore resources and be acceptable for a diverse family audience. An attempt is made to exhibit various media over the course of the year, ranging from paintings and photographs, to mixed media and three-dimensional works.

Past exhibits have included historic images; landscape artwork developed by Nauset Regional High School art students; national seashore-inspired quilts; Wampanoag culture; and art and literature inspired by the beauty of the national seashore.

Interested artists should contact Zach Gostlin at e-mail us. Artists will begin to be selected in May 2024.

Preserving forty miles of pristine sandy beaches, marshes, ponds, lighthouses, and cultural landscapes, Cape Cod National Seashore offers a glimpse of Cape Cod’s past and continuing ways of life. Today, it endures as a resource for discovering historical, natural, and recreational treasures.
