FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Young Voices.
Brave New Works.
MAY 29-JUNE 8, 2008
We've taken five provocative new plays by teen playwrights and added some of the Tampa Bay area's best directors, designers and actors. Then we put it all together for your enjoyment.
Do join us May 29-June 8 for YDP '08.
THIS YEAR'S WINNING PLAYS
Order by Sierra Almengual
Directed by David O'Hara
Wade, a scrawny eleven year old, is terrorized by his older brother. After being ridiculed for his intelligence, his "condition" (dyslexia) and his being adopted, Wade finally reaches his breaking point. When the roles are reversed, how will the brothers' natural order survive?
Aftershots by Elizabeth Klettke
Directed by Ami Sallee Corley
Set in a ruined school cafeteria where violence has obviously occurred, the play examines stereotypes and how they can break down after a tragic event such as a school shooting.
Fable de Veras by Andrew Ford
Directed by Eric Davis
The story of a Mexican couple that immigrate illegally to the U.S. They have a daughter in this country and when they are deported, she is allowed to stay as a legal citizen. The daughter tells this story through a fable which parallels the action taking place on stage.
Red Cross by Alexander Nunnelly
Directed by Karla Hartley
In the cellar of a doomed city, a Red Cross worker comes across a woman who does not intend to leave. The encounter reveals much about what it means to save a life.
Destruction Room by Gabriel Neustadt
Directed by Joe Winskye
A new recreational phenomenon has gripped the nation: Destruction Room, Inc. -where customers can do anything they want - destroy anything they choose - vent their anger in any way possible - all for $29.95. But has its founder gone too far?
Mark your calendar for special performances:
Thursday May 29 - opening night - free champagne reception after the show. Limited ticket availability, reservations are recommended.
Sunday June 1 and Thursday June 5 - talkbacks after the show with the writers, directors, and actors. Included in your ticket price.

Oh What A Beautiful Web We Weave (And Stencil And Dye And Sew).
In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.

In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Do join us May 29-June 8 for YDP '08.
THIS YEAR'S WINNING PLAYS
Order by Sierra Almengual
Directed by David O'Hara
Wade, a scrawny eleven year old, is terrorized by his older brother. After being ridiculed for his intelligence, his "condition" (dyslexia) and his being adopted, Wade finally reaches his breaking point. When the roles are reversed, how will the brothers' natural order survive?
Aftershots by Elizabeth Klettke
Directed by Ami Sallee Corley
Set in a ruined school cafeteria where violence has obviously occurred, the play examines stereotypes and how they can break down after a tragic event such as a school shooting.
Fable de Veras by Andrew Ford
Directed by Eric Davis
The story of a Mexican couple that immigrate illegally to the U.S. They have a daughter in this country and when they are deported, she is allowed to stay as a legal citizen. The daughter tells this story through a fable which parallels the action taking place on stage.
Red Cross by Alexander Nunnelly
Directed by Karla Hartley
In the cellar of a doomed city, a Red Cross worker comes across a woman who does not intend to leave. The encounter reveals much about what it means to save a life.
Destruction Room by Gabriel Neustadt
Directed by Joe Winskye
A new recreational phenomenon has gripped the nation: Destruction Room, Inc. -where customers can do anything they want - destroy anything they choose - vent their anger in any way possible - all for $29.95. But has its founder gone too far?

The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Oh What A Beautiful Web We Weave (And Stencil And Dye And Sew).
In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.
