Join us on a selected Friday each month from November and February for a fantastic lineup of visiting writers and visual artists of national recognition who will share their work. Our Fellows in residence will also be invited to open their studios for you to explore, and the Michael Mazur Printmaking Studio will be available for art-making activities. To add to the festive atmosphere, we have local musicians lined up, and Cape Cod restaurants and caterers will provide food and drinks for all. FAWC Fridays are a unique opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate in a fun and participatory way.
Update as of 10/30: Unfortunately, Wendy White will no longer be able to join us for an artist talk for FAWC Friday on November 1 due to an unexpected medical issue with a family member. We are grateful that Baseera Khan has agreed to take her place. Please review the updated run of show below.
