Pete Hocking is teaching “People, Places & Things: Painting What’s Important,” an online workshop via the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Monday, January 25th through Friday, January 29th, from 6 to 9 p.m. “From time to time, every artist wonders what their work is about,” the announcement says. “This workshop is focused on exploring the nature of content in painting, starting with an inventory of our individual preoccupations and moving into personal explorations of landscape, portraiture, and still life.” Registration is $325 at paam.org.
