Summer Workshop Program
Creative Writing and Visual Arts Workshops in Provincetown
“This was my first workshop at FAWC. I expected to come and take a good class with a good instructor. I didn’t expect to be part of a community, and that was special. The welcome night, the artist talks, the field trips, the open studios, the continental breakfasts. That community feeling was part of the in-workshop group experience too.”
