Museum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy, Community, and the Declarations of Falmouth

Museum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy, Community, and the Declarations of Falmouth In this colorful presentation, former White House chief calligrapher, Rick Paulus, takes you on a unique journey into the worlds of international diplomacy, White House entertaining and adventure on the high seas. Using his calligraphy as the backdrop, Rick shares personal vignettes from working at the highest levels of government as a calligrapher, calligraphy’s role in diplomacy, and many insights into the operations of the White House Social Office. He will be incorporating some of the Historical Society’s archive pieces to show how calligraphy was used in Falmouth for proclamations and special civic events. In 2006, Rick took a bold leap by leaving his coveted position in Washington to explore new adventures and art. It is here that Rick confronts his most difficult and most rewarding assignments; finding a voice for his work, merging life into art and art into life, and continuing to strive to achieve the technical skills required to speak fluently from the hand. Today, Rick continues his quest for the perfectly formed letter on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Admission: $40 Non-Members / $30 Museums on the Green Members Not a member yet? Join Here!
