Artists and writers have flocked to Provincetown “not just because it’s an amazingly beautiful place, but because people felt free to be themselves,” says Towleroad’s own founder and editor, Andy Towle, who first landed there in 1991 for a writing fellowship at the town’s Fine Arts Work Center, returning for inspiration from the culture, history, art, and people every summer for the past 23 years.
Towleroad spent much of last summer in ‘Ptown’ and got to know some of the people whose dreams have been brought to life by this unique place, and whose visions are helping make it the most popular destination in the country for LGBT vacationers.
