Things to do in Wellfleet, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Museums

May 14, 2022 Merry Kessler

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.

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.

a wide range of quality pieces. Of course representative of the Cape but that is what you want right?

Excellent art in a place that is customer friendly, to view art and enjoy, and to be able to provide the visitor with extensive information on the art in the gallery!
