The mission of the Provincetown Community Compact, Inc. (The Compact) is to advance the cultural well being of Provincetown, its people, and the natural environment of the Lower Cape, and to act as a catalyst for collaborative projects. The Compact was established in 1993 by Jay Critchley as a community-building and philanthropic organization that supports living artists and the vitality of the arts community. The Compact has envisioned Provincetown as a Cultural Sanctuary--a distinct legacy of people, place, and environment that nurtures the soul and the creative process. The Compact projects integrate art, culture and the economy.
