Hiding in Plain Sight

In The Studio
The artists who work in the oasis over the Post Office

The Provincetown Independent BY ANDRE VAN DER WENDE DEC 22, 2021

Built in 1930, Provincetown’s U.S. Post Office is a bustling place, but not many know that the second floor is rented out by artists. A plaque at the top of the stairs reads: “Anna Harrington Scigliano Memorial Studios.” It was dedicated on June 12, 1996, which is almost as long as artist Larry Collins has rented the space that he shares with painter Christopher Sousa. Painters Jenny Humphreys and Karen Cappotto also rent spaces there.
