"American Artist Abroad" - Paquette in Athens
Through the "American Artists Abroad" program, the U.S. Department of State hosted Thomas Paquette for a special reception at the Ambassador's residence, and to give several presentations in Greece in 2006. Five of his paintings are on display at Ambassador's residence in Athens as part of the Arts in Embassies program.
