Artwork by Philip Dutra will be displayed at The Gallery at FCTV from May 4 through May 29. A reception with the artist will be held on Sunday, May 17th, from 3-5pm.
Raised on Cape Cod, Philip Dutra draws on a lifetime of coastal experience to create paintings that emphasize clarity, restraint, and the natural beauty of the sea. Before committing fully to art, he worked in the boating industry, an experience that deepened his understanding of water, movement, and light—elements that now define his work. His background in architectural engineering also informs his sense of structure and composition.
Dutra’s paintings reflect a lifelong connection to the shoreline. Having spent decades immersed in the coastal environment, he finds continual inspiration in its shifting colors and moods. His approach centers on simplifying complex scenes, allowing essential forms and atmosphere to emerge without excess detail.
For Dutra, art is both personal expression and a way to evoke shared memories. He aims to create work that resonates emotionally while maintaining technical discipline. When faced with creative challenges, he steps away, often turning to quiet reflection or movement to regain perspective.
He believes artistic growth comes from persistence, observation, and a willingness to learn through process. The coast remains both his subject and his refuge—a constant source of inspiration that continues to shape his work and vision.
The Gallery at FCTV is located within the Falmouth Community Media Center, which is at 310E Dillingham Ave., easily accessible by Rose Morin Lane. FCTV and Gallery Hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu: 10-8pm, Fri: 10am-6pm. Sat: Closed, Sun: 12-8pm.

Cape Cod Fairgrounds

Come find a bumper crop of unique and hardy plants for your Cape Cod garden, locally grown by members of the MGACC, in the 7,200 square foot Marketplace Barn. As in past years, gardeners will be delighted with the abundant selection of tomato, vegetable and herb plants, along with Cape proven performers in flowering perennials, pollinator-friendly natives, and queen of the autumn garden -- dahlias. 
An expanded variety of hydrangeas--including new introductions, native hybrids, rebloomers and climbers--will be featured in their own tent annexed to the Marketplace Barn, along with spring-blooming native azaleas, mountain laurels and rhododendrons for instant color.
The 27th Annual Plant Sale will open an hour earlier this year to allow garden enthusiasts more time to shop. Master gardener volunteers will be on hand to answer plant and gardening questions, and the community is invited to drop off soil samples from their garden or lawn for free pH testing by the Cooperative Extension’s Horticulture Clinic. Proceeds from the Annual Plant Sale support MGACC community outreach and public education programs across the Cape.
This is a rain or shine event. Cape Cod Fairgrounds does not permit dogs on its premises; please leave all pets at home. For more information, visit: <a href="https://mastergardenerscc.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://mastergardenerscc.org</a>
