Provincetown Art Guide with fine dining 2008 fifth anniversary edition
FOUNDER Patricia Zur
A washashore who fell madly in love with Provincetown and never looked back, Patricia worked in several capacities within the Provincetown arts community for eight years. In 2003, she founded Long Point Studio to meet a perceived need for quality editorial and design services for artists and their representatives at affordable rates. Prior to moving to Provincetown, she hustled in broadcast television for 14 years as a producer, director and writer for PBS, CBS, ABC, and International television. She got some Emmy nominations (and migraines) along the way. She is a published freelance writer who has worked as a publicity assistant at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and as an editor at Gralla Publications in New York City.

Patricia had the great good fortune to serve as editor and design consultant for the 2002-2003 Provincetown Pocket Book (which featured a unique 60-page literary supplement dubiously-titled Is Paradise Lost?), and created and designed (with her Long Point Studio design partner, Marisa Chrystene) the first full-color Provincetown Gallery Guide in 2003. In 2004, she launched Provincetown Art Guide with fine dining and the web site www.provincetownartguide.com, an annual comprehensive index to the many, varied resources within Provincetown's fabulous arts community.

Patricia is currently the arts editor and photographer for LIP (Life in Provincetown) Magazine. She is also a so-called working artist, whose paintings and etchings have been represented in several juried shows at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
