Festive announcement: I’ll be back in Ptown selling Ptown Tarot decks and prints this upcoming Holly Folly (Dec 4-6) at the Gifford House holiday market. Also selling framed individual cards from this first printing - only one of each available.

Makes a perfect gift for so many folks on your list: the Ptown-lover, the tarot enthusiast, hell even the second-home-owning part-time resident in your life would LOVE this for their Airbnb.

Supplies are limited! Likely to sell out this holiday season. If you can’t make it to Holly Folly, you can purchase decks online at ptowntarot.com or DM me directly for a Venmo purchase.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT — Benwa is the artist behind our Deep Sea Disco Carnival poster this year, and also the creator of @ptowntarot

Benwa is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Provincetown and San Francisco. He holds a BFA in Musical Theater from the University of the Arts (2006) and is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory in Chicago (2010). Upon his relocation to Provincetown and a renewed focus on visual arts, he became known for his colorful, whimsical approach to various media. His diverse body of work derives inspiration from queer culture, esoterica, identity, and storytelling.

Most recently, Benwa completed the Provincetown Tarot, a years-long endeavor to depict the history and culture of Provincetown through the archetypal lens of the tarot. In 2025 he completed “Maushop Totems,” a mural installation at Ptown’s Awol Hotel. He also designs posters for many Ptown events, including Carnival 2026.

Benwa has exhibited work at Treadwell Gallery (Ptown), E. Lesh Gallery (Ptown), The Provincetown Commons, as well as Art Gaysel in both Miami and Ptown. Additionally, he constructs elaborate costumes for Ptown’s annual Carnival Week. Benwa also designed weekly installations for the long-running Provincetown summer party FAGBASH from 2016-2018.
