About Long Point Studio, publishers of the Provincetown Art Guide
Named after Long Point Lighthouse, for hundreds of years a beacon to sailors and a muse to artists living on the outermost edge of Cape Cod, our studio was established to showcase the talents of the many artists in Provincetown, Mass., the oldest continuous art colony in America.
We create art-related publications such as artist monographs, gallery brochures, and the annual Provincetown Art Guide, provide design and editorial services to artists and galleries, and offer elegant and artful gifts like calendars and note cards celebrating Provincetown, Cape Cod and the many talented artists living here today.
We are an artist-run company, serving artists and arts businesses. Our goal is to create work of exceptional quality, creativity, innovation and vision.
Long Point is not just a company but also a place and a state of mind.

FOUNDER
Patricia Zur
A washashore who fell madly in love with Provincetown
and never looked back, Patricia worked in several capacities

and their representatives at affordable rates. Prior to
moving to Provincetown, she hustled in broadcast television

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, an editor at Gralla Publications in New York City and an arts editor and photographer for LIP (Life in Provincetown) Magazine.
Patricia served as editor and design consultant
for the 2002-2003 Provincetown Pocket Book (which featured
a unique 60-page literary supplement entitled
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 historic arts community.
Patricia
currently serves as the publisher, art director and editor on the Art Guide and all related print projects produced by Long Point Studio. She is also an independent filmmaker and artist, whose paintings and etchings have been
represented in several juried shows at the Provincetown
