About Berta Walker Gallery
Berta Walker Gallery presents "the History of American Art" as seen through the eyes of Provincetown, the oldest, largest, longest ongoing art colony in America, and, in 1915, the birthplace of American theatre. Provincetown is also the first landing place of the Pilgrims, landing in 1620 where the Mayflower Compact, the earliest and successful first attempt at Democracy, was written and signed.
