This podcast is such a joy, love that I can listen to the art stories and history that formed Provincetown.
I feel like the depth of knowledge this podcast brings deepens our already profound appreciation of the town.
I grew up in the East End and everywhere I lived afterward, even in the best places, my soul still lived in Provincetown. So thank you so much for paying tribute to this place so many of us know is uniquely wonderful.

The Art Colony podcast is a real gift to Provincetown. Gaston has a way of walking you through the history of this queer little town I love to call home with such care, depth, and heart. Each episode feels thoughtful and deeply rooted in place. My only wish is that one day we get to turn the tables and hear his story through the lens of someone else interviewing him.
