What we’re about
The Cape Cod Art Center is a non-profit membership group continuously operating since its inception in 1948. It serves its members and community with a variety of fine art programs and events. Our mission is to support an environment for artists to explore their creativity and perfect their skills, to build public appreciation for the arts through exhibitions, on site and virtually, and to promote quality artwork to the Cape Cod community and beyond.

- Sports Photography Workshop/Figawi Race CruiseCape Cod Art Center, Barnstable, MA
A two part venture! Join me for a Private FIGAWI RACE Photography Cruise in Hyannis Harbor on Saturday, May 24 from 9am – 12pm, with or without a two-part Sports Photography Workshop on the preceding and following Tuesday nights.
These workshops are offered through the Cape Cod Art Center, so all registration should be done through this website...
Calling all photographers – and those who just enjoy cruising on the water – to join us for a private boat outing in Hyannis Harbor to watch the start of the annual Figawi Race from Hyannis to Nantucket. The parade of sailboats is a glorious sight to see (and photograph)! Photographer Dave Mullen will be leading a 2-session photography workshop pre and post Figawi Race for photographers of all levels (workshop info below). He will also be onboard to lend his knowledge of live action sport photography during the cruise. The smooth riding 64′ motor catamaran Bay Spirit provides a wonderful vantage point for photographing the Figawi racers and the beautiful scenery surrounding Hyannis Harbor.
Sign up for the cruise and/or workshop by Monday, May 5 to take advantage of the early bird rate and to secure your spot on the boat! Space on the cruise is limited.
