Room update: A few rooms have come available for the Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1. Additional rooms are available on Thursday, the 30th. More rooms are available before and after those dates if you with to extend your stay. Take advantage of the opportunity to stay "on campus," which gives you a room for the Hotel Fair and proximity to all the events.
The Encaustic Conference begins at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 31, so you may wish to arrive the day before to be fully registered at the hotel--and maybe even the day before that to unwind from your travels. The ocean and pool are close at hand, the beach half a mile a way. Many conferees arrive early in the week for Pre-Conference Workshops. We have the entire Inn for the Conference weekend.
New this year: Optional Saturday Evening Buffet with meat, fish and vegetables (many selections for vegetarians and vegans), which you will reserve through the Inn. Price with tax and gratuity: app. $28. Reserve now!
Two buffet options: Pork, above, and hake, below.
Dinner will be laid out buffet style, so potatoes and vegetables will be on their own separate platters. Additionally there will be penne with pesto for vegetarians, along with vegan options: brown rice, vegetables, beans, plus salads of all kinds. Rolls will include whole wheat selections, plus gluten-free bread for those who require it. And if course, there's dessert.
While lunch is included in your Conference fee, the Saturday evening dinner is an optional extra, payable to the Inn. Cost is $28. If you are staying at the Inn, your dinner will be charged to your room; if you are staying elsewhere, you should call the Inn to reserve.
"The fish is fresh each morning," says Chef Jason, who goes to the wharf to inspect and select the day's catch. And did we mention that he bakesdessert from scratch, including chocolate cookies? (Cherie wanted you to know about the cookies.)
About the Provincetown Inn
A lovely place for a Conference
The Provincetown Inn is located at the tip of Provincetown. It's a large complex that has grown throughout the years.There's a private beach, foreground. In the middle distance, just beyond the breakwater that juts off to the left, is a salt marsh, and in the distance is the Atlantic Ocean.
.
Whether you're staying at the Inn or not, please familiarize your self with the complex, as it is the site of all Conference activity, save for the gallery openings in town.
There are two main sections to the Inn
. Just behind the lawn and swimming pool, shown in the foreground, is the original Inn, which contains the main lobby and event rooms on the first floor, as well as the Standard and Waterview sections, which contain rooms on the first and second floors
. To the left of the lawn is the motel section, an open trapezoid that consists of three long, one-story segments: Harborside, Cape Tip and Breakwater, from right to left respectively. These three segments enclose the parking lot, which has plenty of free parking for all guests and Conference visitors
