Join “Artprize” Grand Prize winning artist and graphic designer Richard Schlatter for a presentation on the top 15 presidents as he uses their own words to capture the intricate nature of each presidency.

This presentation combines humor and little known facts about each of the presidents. “The men who have served as president were ordinary people like you and me,” Schlatter points out in his presentation. “For the most part, they were ordinary people who lead unordinary lives.”

See the special selection of presidents highlighted in this presentation in the Waterfront Gallery art exhibit, “THE PRESIDENTS: In Their Own Words” June 12-July 14. This exhibit includes portraits created by using only the words from each their inaugural addresses.
