Hudson D. Walker Gallery

True Love’s Kiss: A Queer Fairy Tale in Provincetown is inspired by the queer historical legacy of Provincetown. Along with Miguel Braceli’s own story, the project aims to explore the diversity of love and how it exists, encompassing memories, lessons, thoughts, and advice to collectively write and perform a fairy tale of progressive values.

For the last few months, Miguel Braceli has been collaborating with artists and different members of the Provincetown community. This exhibition showcases drawings, sculptures, and photographs in collaboration with Mark Adams, Mike Sullivan, and Sasha Wortzel.

On March 23rd at 6:00 pm, Braceli will be stationed at the Provincetown Breakwater, where a procession led by “fairy godmother” Saltine will kiss the artist, marking the fifth chapter of the project Queer Fairy Tale in Provincetown. Everyone in town is welcome to attend! Please visit miguelbraceli.com/rsvp.

Please note: The gallery is available to visit from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Please visit the administrative offices to be shown to the gallery.
