GALA
Opening Reception
Kick-off the summer season with a celebration of Rudelle's Storybook School, Truro’s acclaimed and
much loved school founded and run by Ms Rudelle Falkenburg.
Art work of former students, tin toy, dollhouses, and lunchboxes, will be
on display.
Warren Falkenburg’s
antique toys and hand-made doll houses will be staged in the main
gallery of the historic Highland House Museum.
|
Since
its beginning (in Provincetown) in early 1970, this school has
nurtured/taught Outer Cape preschoolers from September to June and
provided outstanding drama and arts programs for five to ten year olds
during the summer months. This unique exhibit will feature almost forty
years of photographs, memorabilia, and art produced by the legions of
children fortunate to enroll in “Miss Rudi’s” marvelous school.
As part
of the exhibition, we wish to invite all current and former students (or
their parents) to loan example(s) of their artwork created during their
time at Rudelle’s school. Please mat or mount and label all submitted
artwork to insure safe return at the close of the exhibit.
The Highland Museum will receive this work on 5/18, 5/19, and 5/28, from
10am to 12 noon. Call Museum Director Deborah Minsky at (508) 487-0683
or (508) 487-3397 if further information is needed about art
submissions. |

21 in Truro
is a unique group of artists who gather every year in the seaside town
of Truro to inspire and motivate each other to generate their unique
forms of artistic expression. Additionally, this year some members of
the group are journeying to Cornwall, England to paint in Falmouth,
Truro and Penzance. Some of the "21" artists will also be painting in
Falmouth and Penzance Point
here on Cape Cod as well."
