At 92, Provincetown artist Anne Packard prepares for a final visit to the gallery that cemented her legacy. Her journey began in hardship when, at 41, she was left to support five children alone after her husband left them. Facing a 1960s art world that dismissed her talent, Anne defiantly sold small paintings from her front fence for a few dollars. Her persistence ignited a phenomenon, drawing collectors and galleries alike. Together with her daughters, she established her own gallery, where her works commanded thousands. Though she now bids farewell to that physical space, Anne’s resolute spirit and creative drive remain undiminished. Local artist and filmmaker Arthur Egeli interviews Anne in her home studio as she recounts her story in her own words and reveals decades of wisdom that has fueled her colorful life.
Director Arthur Egeli and Anne Packard scheduled to attend.
