February 24, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Wellfleet is a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States, and is located halfway between the "tip" and "elbow" of Cape Cod. The town had a population of 2,750 at the 2010 census, which swells nearly sixfold during the summer. A total of 70% of the town's land area is in protection, and nearly half of it is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Wellfleet is famous for its eponymous oysters, which are celebrated in the annual October Wellfleet OysterFest.

Whenever I'm spending a significant amount of time in Wellfleet, the second thing I do, after getting a lobster roll at PJ's, is get a library card at the Wellfleet Library. It's right in town and has a great selection of books, CDs, and DVDs. They are happy to have summer folks get cards and use them. I've never been short of good reading material. There's also a wonderful secondhand book sale in Wellfleet in early August every year that should not be missed. Enjoy!

Left Bank Art Gallery

Established in 1971, Left Bank Gallery at 25 Commercial Street, Wellfleet, is spacious, unconfined, and tactile. A continuously rotating collection of paintings - from lyrical abstract to "plein air" realism, all with the power of engaging the viewer - are punctuated by lofty, gestural mobiles. Acting on the idea that art should be part of our living environments, owner Audrey Sherwin Parent pairs canvases and sculptures with functional ware for the home. Individual spaces are designed with handcrafted lighting, vessels and furniture.
