December Art Exhibit
Garrow Throop: Vignettes from the Outer Cape

Art Exhibit: December 3–31
Opening Reception: Tuesday, December 3, 3:00–5:00 p.m.
Artist Talk at 4:00 p.m.
As a Graphic Designer, Garrow Throop spent his career creating imagery in the commercial world. Now Throop has applied this experience to his love of photography and painting. The unique result is a hybrid of photographic reality and painted fantasy, combined to create an essence of what we see around us. Each piece is approached differently, depending on what the image requires. Throop photographs a scene which lends itself to the process; he will then paint, separately, a watercolor, or oil, or pastel of the image and finally combine the two in a way that brings out the true feeling of the subject. The final combination often gets reworked until the reality balances with the fantasy. Throop explains, “I get excited each time I see a vista that would work and think of how I would treat it. I can’t get to work fast enough. And I am always discovering new applications, new combinations of media that I can mix in. I may go back on a painting 5 or 6 times…there are no rules since each image is treated differently.”

The Local Journalism Project
Open Newsroom Truro
NO DECEMBER MEETING
Next meeting: Thursday, January 2, 6:00 p.m.
The Provincetown Independent’s nonprofit Local Journalism Project invites community members to join in making local news more collaborative. The editor (and from time to time reporters and newsmakers) will be on hand to hear about issues that are important to you, and to answer your questions about the role of journalism in sharing news for and about the community.
The Project’s Open Newsroom sessions are being held in each of the Outer Cape’s libraries, with Truro gatherings set for the first Thursday of each month, beginning soon! Special themes will surely emerge but this first session is open-ended. Come with your thoughts and questions. Meetings are free and open to all.
