ARTIST TALK: THOMAS FAULKNER - 250 AND COUNTING
Date: Wednesday, September 9 | 4–5 PM
Location: Provincetown Commons
46 Bradford Street
Provincetown, MA 02657
Free and open to the public.
In tandem with his current exhibition, 250 and Counting, artist and sculptor Thomas Faulkner joins us for an intimate artist talk exploring the ideas, materials, and creative process behind the eleven works on view.
Faulkner’s decades-long practice brings art into conversation with the political, religious, and cultural forces that shape our lives. Rooted in a history of activism and conceptual art, 250 and Counting asks viewers to consider where we have been, where we find ourselves now, and what we carry forward.
During the talk, Faulkner will discuss the conceptual framework behind the exhibition, his choice of media, and the personal and historical experiences that inform the work.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with the artist and an opportunity to experience this evocative exhibition through his eyes.
250 and Counting is on view at The Commons through September 13.

Tom has created large site-specific sculpture (e.g. Public Art Fund, People Who Live… Bryant Park, NYC) and smaller three - dimensional sculpture – focused on political, religious and cultural issues. He uses photography both as a fine art and, with text, in conceptual work.
He has an MFA from Pratt Institute, a BA from Dartmouth College, and a MDiv from the Episcopal Theological School. He did independent studies at the San Francisco Art Institute and the New York Art Students League. His work has been reviewed in Art Forum, Art In America, New Art Examiner, Salt Lake Tribune, The New York Times, Provincetown Independent and others.
