Provincetown has been an artists' mecca since the 1890s, boasting the likes of Charles Hawthorn, Hans Hoffman, Robert Motherwell and others. In 1918 Provincetown was declared the largest artists' colony in the world. Many of the New York School Artists including Pollock and Frankenthaller, as well as countless actors and writers have worked in Dune Shacks and Bayside studios, inspired by our famous light, enticing beaches, and sophisticated night life.  The town's array of galleries display a rich assortment of work by established and emerging artists.

A small group of Provincetown artists have come together to create a winter cooperative gallery in one exhibition space of the Berta Walker Gallery. The gallery’s intention is to adapt an exhibition program for the “off-season” time during which Berta Walker Gallery is not presenting formal exhibitions. The co-op’s name, 6 Degrees Gallery, is derived from the theory that everyone in the world is connected to everyone else within six degrees, through a path of six people or fewer. The connection of the artists work is evident through form, texture, & rhythm, as expressed in a variety of mediums. The 6 Degree artists are all professionals in other fields as well as full-time professional artists combining and enriching their art mediums with their other talents. The artists see this as a way of exhibiting during a season when the art world pressure is not quite as consuming as during the summer.

Created in 2003, the gallery's founding artists, Sky Power, Will Sherwood, and Ken Fishman, invite you to explore our web site and visit the gallery's current exhibition in person.
