Résumé
The Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) in Provincetown, Massachusetts is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

The original building at 460 Commercial Street, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The organization changed its name to the Provincetown Art Association and Museum in 1970. As a professional association, it represents a membership of around 700 contemporary artists.
Its growing permanent collection includes over 4,000 works. The museum mounts multiple exhibitions per year.
The Provincetown Art Colony is the oldest of the nineteenth-century summer art colonies on the East Coast. The first art school there was established in 1899 by Charles Hawthorne. On August 22, 1914, a group of prominent artists along with local business men and women established the Provincetown Art Association. The founding officers included President William H. Young; Vice Presidents Charles Hawthorne, William Halsall and E. Ambrose Webster; Acting Vice President Mrs. Eugene Watson (Clara Louise Smith Watson); Treasurer Mrs. William H. Young; Recording Secretary Nina S. Williams and Corresponding Secretary Moses N. Gifford. Other artists involved included Gerrit Beneker, Oliver Newberry Chaffee, Edwin Dickinson, Oscar Gieberich, Frank H. Desch, Charles Demuth, Marsden Hartley, Kenneth Stubbs. Mary Bacon Jones, Catharine Carter Critcher, Sarah Sewell Munroe and Margery Ryerson. For the first two years, the Association met monthly at members' homes or at the home of its first President, William H. Young, who was President of the local Seamen's Savings Bank. As lectures were included, the meetings moved to the Church of the Pilgrims near Town Hall.
The organizing artists mounted two juried exhibitions in the summer of 1915 at the Provincetown Town Hall.
