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 URL:https://artsbarnstable.com/event/outside-straight-lines-ii-a-celebration-of-lgbtq-artists-on-the-cape/2026-07-08/ LOCATION:Cotuit Center for the Arts\, 4404 Falmouth Rd.\, Cotuit\, MA\, 02635 CATEGORIES:Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artsbarnstable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OSL-II-Postcard-8.5-x-5.5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="David Cravenho":MAILTO:outsidestraightlines@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260708T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260708T200000 DTSTAMP:20260728T154139Z CREATED:20260614T173831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260728T154139Z UID:10040419-1783533600-1783540800@artsbarnstable.com SUMMARY:Figure Drawing from a Live Model with Joy George DESCRIPTION:(4) Wednesdays\, July 8 – 29\, 2026\, from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. \nModel may vary each week.Cancellation Policy: The Cape Cod Museum of Art must be notified 1 week prior for a refund. \nWork from a live model in a supportive studio setting.

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 URL:https://artsbarnstable.com/event/outside-straight-lines-ii-a-celebration-of-lgbtq-artists-on-the-cape/2026-07-12/ LOCATION:Cotuit Center for the Arts\, 4404 Falmouth Rd.\, Cotuit\, MA\, 02635 CATEGORIES:Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artsbarnstable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OSL-II-Postcard-8.5-x-5.5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="David Cravenho":MAILTO:outsidestraightlines@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260713 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260714 DTSTAMP:20260511T130840Z CREATED:20250408T140558Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260511T130840Z UID:10039043-1783900800-1783987199@artsbarnstable.com SUMMARY:Hyannis HyARTS Artist Shanties week of July 13 - July 19\, 2026 * OPEN May - Oct!

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 URL:https://artsbarnstable.com/event/outside-straight-lines-ii-a-celebration-of-lgbtq-artists-on-the-cape/2026-07-17/ LOCATION:Cotuit Center for the Arts\, 4404 Falmouth Rd.\, Cotuit\, MA\, 02635 CATEGORIES:Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artsbarnstable.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OSL-II-Postcard-8.5-x-5.5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="David Cravenho":MAILTO:outsidestraightlines@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260717T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260717T210000 DTSTAMP:20260625T224426Z CREATED:20260625T224426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260625T224426Z UID:10040645-1784314800-1784322000@artsbarnstable.com SUMMARY:Belonging Books & The Cordial Eye welcome Pranav Swaroop Bettagere + friends DESCRIPTION:Belonging Books & The Cordial Eye welcome Pranav Swaroop Bettagere + friends \nBelonging Books and The Cordial Eye welcome Pranav Swaroop Bettagere and friends for a summer evening of music\, culture and homecoming. \nApna-Sa – Sounds of Belonging is a thematic South Asian concert series celebrating the cultural heritage of South Asia.
