Wellfleet Adult Community Center

The Blanche Lazzell: Becoming an American Modernist exhibit explores the pioneering artist’s lifelong pursuit of translating Modernism into an American art form and celebrates her largely unsung achievements in championing abstraction in the United States through painting and printmaking. This exhibition surveys the full career of American modernist Blanche Lazzell (1878–1956). Celebrated for her masterful white-line woodblock prints, Lazzell considered herself a painter first and foremost—from her early days studying in West Virginia, New York,and Paris through Depression-era Federal Art Projects and as a longtime resident of Provincetown’s vibrant art community.

PAAM is partnering with us to provide a comprehensive educational experience about Lazzell and the history of the white-line print. This includes a film screening, a demonstration of the white-line print technique by a local artist, and a guided tour of the exhibition with a local art historian. We leave from the Wellfleet WACC at 9:15 a.m. and will return by 1:00 p.m. Transportation will be provided by WACC. Space is limited to 11 participants, and Wellfleet residents/taxpayers receive first preference. Please bring your own light snack and water.
