PROVINCETOWN, MASS.- Ali Gray Gallery is presenting its first solo exhibition, Julie Gray: Prints & Paintings, opening Friday, June 5, 2026, at 338 Commercial Street in Provincetown. The exhibition will feature Julie Gray’s white-line woodblock prints alongside a new collection of oil paintings.

Gray’s white-line woodblock prints are rooted in one of Provincetown’s most important artistic traditions. Often referred to as the “Provincetown Print,” the white-line woodblock method was developed in Provincetown in the early 20th century and remains closely associated with the town’s art history. Unlike traditional multi-block printmaking, the Provincetown method uses a single carved block with hand-painted color applications, creating the distinctive white lines that define the process.

Through her work, Gray continues this historic tradition while bringing a contemporary perspective through color, texture, atmosphere, and composition.

The exhibition also marks the debut of a new body of oil paintings, expanding Gray’s artistic practice while maintaining the sense of light, place, and emotional connection present throughout her work.

Gray has deep ties to the Provincetown community and currently serves as Board President of the Provincetown Tennis Club. This exhibition reflects both her connection to the town’s artistic legacy and her ongoing involvement in the local community.

“This exhibition feels especially meaningful as our first solo show at the gallery,” said Alison Gray, owner of Ali Gray Gallery and Julie Gray’s wife. “Julie’s work is deeply connected to Provincetown’s artistic history while also feeling fresh and contemporary. It felt like the perfect way to begin this next chapter for the gallery.”

Ali Gray Gallery opened in 2026 and represents a mix of emerging and established artists working across painting, printmaking, ceramics, mixed media, and sculpture, with a focus on artists connected to Provincetown and the broader regional arts community.

Julie Gray: Prints & Paintings will remain on view through June 18, 2026.
