Historical Postcards: The Stories They Tell; The Art They Inspire
Wednesday, April 3rd at 1pm
Falmouth Historical Society’s Cultural Center 55 Palmer Avenue Falmouth, MA 02540
Free and Open to the Public Thanks to the Falmouth Cultural Council
The Falmouth Public Library’s trove of postcards includes depictions of the town throughout the decades (since the early 1900s), with many historical images of each of Falmouth’s villages. Anna Lee, Technical Services Assistant at the Falmouth Public Library and Alice Kociemba, Founding Director of Calliope Poetry will give a gallery talk on Wednesday, April 3rd at 1:00 p.m. in the Cultural Center of Falmouth Museums on the Green. Anna will explore how each of the postcards tells its own story. Alice will focus on how the postcard’s images and messages have inspired local writers and artists to create new art.
Calliope Poetry’s Wish You Were Here: Postcards from the Past received a 2023 grant from the Falmouth Cultural Council, the local agency of the Mass Cultural Council
