SUMMARY:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ Artists on the Cape
DESCRIPTION:Outside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod.\nEXHIBIT: May 23 to June 21\, 2026\nOPENING RECEPTION: May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nOutside Straight Lines II: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Artists is a community art exhibit held at Cotuit Center for the Arts during Pride month aimed toward giving voice to LGBTQ+ arts across Cape Cod. Artists such as Joerg Dressler\, Beth Faherty\, Fran O’Neill\, and Paul Rizzo\, among many other skilled creatives\, will showcase their work at Cotuit Center for the Arts from May 23 to June 21\, 2026\, with an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3pm to 5pm. \nThe Outside Straight Lines biennial exhibit arose out of concern that much of LGBTQ+ art across the Cape has been unintentionally segregated to Provincetown\, often forcing those showing their work outside of this Queer Mecca into self-censorship throughout other venues of the Cape. In a time of book banning of LGBTQ+ literature\, erasures of crosswalks\, and blatant attacks on trans rights\, this showcase has acted as an affirmation of collective LGBTQ+ expression. With support from the Mid-Cape Cultural Council\, GSAs across Cape high schools have been invited to view this powerful exhibit. \nAccording to curator David Cravenho\, “I am impressed by our LGBTQ+ Community for its strength and resilience. Growing up queer as a child and navigating life through the lens of a straight world is quite the feat.” This exhibit not only hosts 13 Queer artists in a single space but also celebrates the vast diversity of our Queer Cape Cod community–from the expressionist figure to the realistic Cape Cod landscape. Cravenho believes strongly in art’s ability to armor oneself: “Becoming an adult as an artist and putting on your survival mechanism to express your power through your work is a gift from beyond ourselves.” \nJoin artists for an opening reception on May 30\, 2026 from 3-5pm\, or drop by Cotuit Center for the Arts between May 23 and June 21\, 2026 during visiting times to view this powerful visual collection of LGBTQ+ voices. \nMark Adams \nJoerg Dressler \nBeth Faherty \nKenneth Hawkey \nMegan Hinton \nPete Hocking \nMarc Kundmann \nFran O’Neill \nPaul Rizzo \nChristopher Sousa \nAlan Trugman \nForrest Williams \nLaurence Young \nSponsored by the Mass Cultural Council and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council

SUMMARY:History on Tap: Prohibition on Cape Cod - Running the Rum in
DESCRIPTION:“During Prohibition\, rumrunning was big business on Cape Cod. Fishermen and farmers headed offshore under cover of darkness to “Rum Row\,” returning with contraband alcohol while risking heavy fines\, jail time\, and dangerous encounters with law enforcement\, hijackers\, and gangsters. From Provincetown’s Manny Zora to Eastham’s Bud Cummings\, and the mysterious disappearance of Sandwich’s Eugene Haines\, these stories range from thrilling to humorous. Even Boston Mayor James Curley is said to have escaped out a window during a police raid at Yarmouth’s Casa Madrid. \nLocal author Don Wilding brings this unforgettable era to life\, uncovering tales of crime\, controversy\, and coastal ingenuity from Cape Cod’s Prohibition years. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDon Wilding has spent decades sharing stories of Cape Cod’s Outer Beach through lectures\, video\, and the written word. In addition to Prohibition on Cape Cod: Running the Rum In\, he is the author of Historic Storms of Cape Cod\, Cape Cod and the Portland Gale of 1898\, Shipwrecks of Cape Cod: Stories of Triumph & Tragedy\, A Brief History of Eastham\, and Henry Beston’s Cape Cod. \nAn award-winning newspaper editor\, writer\, and designer for over thirty-six years\, Don is also a Cape tour guide and frequent speaker on regional history across New England. He has led history walks for the Harwich Conservation Trust—earning recognition as a 2023 “Conservationist of the Year”—and taught Cape Cod history courses for Open University of Wellfleet and Nauset Community Education. Don lives in South Dennis with his wife\, Nita. \nPart of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history\, conversation\, and craft brews. \nAdmission: $10 per person / $5 for members \nMust be 21+ to sample beer; IDs will be checked at the door. \nEnjoy craft beer from our sponsor\, Cape Cod Beer\, along with cheese\, crackers\, water\, and non-alcoholic beer options. \nWe highly recommend reserving your tickets on our website in advance. Popular events often sell out quickly\, and we cannot always accommodate walk-ins. Don’t miss out—plan and secure your spot! “
