Patricia
Zur
FOUNDER
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. |
