UPON REFLECTION: THE REMEMBRANCE OF NOW An Exhibition by Susan Bernstein Exhibition Dates: September 16 – September 27 Location: Provincetown Commons 46 Bradford Street Provincetown, MA 02657 Opening Reception Friday, September 18 5 PM – 7 PM Instagram Gallery Hours Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM Artist Statement: This exhibition is dedicated to the power of place—specifically Provincetown. Here, land, ocean, and human presence have layered over time, leaving a continuous imprint. Past and present do not recede but remain visible, shimmering within the current moment. The works in this show hold a contemplative space. They invite the viewer to pause, to reflect, and to enter into this quiet accumulation of experience—where memory, perception, and presence unfold together.
