From her first job in a gallery to working and teaching in some of the town's most iconic art spaces. Laura and Gaston get to "nerd out" about the rich art history of Provincetown, through discussing the famous names who left their mark here, and the art schools and institutions that they founded or passed through. It's a conversations that leaves no doubt that Provincetown was one of the most important art hubs of the 20th century, and still now plays an influential role on the international art scene.

And they end by reviewing how teaching art has evolved in Provincetown in this contemporary age of online classes and diversifying interests.
