FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM PRESENTS ART FROM THE HEART II
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to exhibit Art From the Heart II, an exhibition of artwork created by consumers from PARC (Pinellas Association for Retarded Children). Artwork is presented in a variety of mediums including sculpture, watercolor, oil, and paper mache. An opening reception will be held June 12, 2008 at 7pm. The event is open to the public, admission is $12 and free to Florida Holocaust Museum members. The Art from the Heart II exhibition is on display through August 15, 2008.
This exhibition is collaboration between the Museum and PARC. During the Holocaust, people with developmental disabilities were one of many groups targeted by the Nazis. Since part of the Museum's mission is to teach all people to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of human life, the Museum is honored to celebrate the work of PARC consumers.
PARC Fine Arts Studio was established in 2000 to give people with disabilities the opportunity to explore their inner spirit and creativity and express themselves through art - no matter what the medium.

Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.

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.

Wearable Art 2008
07/23/08 - 08/17/08
Summer Events Heat UP DFAC in anticipation of Wearable ART 4.
Once upon a time… summers around the bay area seemed endlessly long, hot and boring . . . but over the last few summers, the Dunedin Fine Art Center has been cranking up a different kind of heat with their tremendously successful Wearable ART fashion shows. This year, they're upping the ante with two events that culminate the weekend of Wearable ART 4 on August 16th.
BOTH events open with a blaze on Tuesday (yes, that's right, a TUESDAY opening reception) July 29th from 5:00-6:30 pm. Wearable ART: the exhibition is a gallery-based version of the hottest runway show in town, featuring works by: Jennifer Bewerse, Jason Leigh, Maria Saraceno, Kim Michelle Coakley, emiko oye and Leslie Fry.
The second exhibition taps into the playful, powerful spirit of childhood. Pinellas county artist Vivian Ruegger had been toying with the idea of images based on Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland tale for years, she says. Her ruminations resulted in a striking series that will be featured in a three-week long silent auction to benefit DFAC. Gallery visitors can bid on any of the twenty-plus giclee' prints (taken from the original watercolors) of Down the Rabbit Hole: Vivian Ruegger's Alice Project. Works will be auctioned over the three-week period with the highest bidder ultimately awarded the print. "These images really bring back that first out-of-the-box thinking that Alice in Wonderland IS for so many children," noted DFAC executive director George Ann Bissett, "I know why they stuck with Vivian for so long, it's a great and unforgettable story!"

Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.

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.

Wearable Art 2008
07/23/08 - 08/17/08
Summer Events Heat UP DFAC in anticipation of Wearable ART 4.
Once upon a time… summers around the bay area seemed endlessly long, hot and boring . . . but over the last few summers, the Dunedin Fine Art Center has been cranking up a different kind of heat with their tremendously successful Wearable ART fashion shows. This year, they're upping the ante with two events that culminate the weekend of Wearable ART 4 on August 16th.
BOTH events open with a blaze on Tuesday (yes, that's right, a TUESDAY opening reception) July 29th from 5:00-6:30 pm. Wearable ART: the exhibition is a gallery-based version of the hottest runway show in town, featuring works by: Jennifer Bewerse, Jason Leigh, Maria Saraceno, Kim Michelle Coakley, emiko oye and Leslie Fry.
The second exhibition taps into the playful, powerful spirit of childhood. Pinellas county artist Vivian Ruegger had been toying with the idea of images based on Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland tale for years, she says. Her ruminations resulted in a striking series that will be featured in a three-week long silent auction to benefit DFAC. Gallery visitors can bid on any of the twenty-plus giclee' prints (taken from the original watercolors) of Down the Rabbit Hole: Vivian Ruegger's Alice Project. Works will be auctioned over the three-week period with the highest bidder ultimately awarded the print. "These images really bring back that first out-of-the-box thinking that Alice in Wonderland IS for so many children," noted DFAC executive director George Ann Bissett, "I know why they stuck with Vivian for so long, it's a great and unforgettable story!"

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.

Wearable Art 2008
07/23/08 - 08/17/08
Summer Events Heat UP DFAC in anticipation of Wearable ART 4.
Once upon a time… summers around the bay area seemed endlessly long, hot and boring . . . but over the last few summers, the Dunedin Fine Art Center has been cranking up a different kind of heat with their tremendously successful Wearable ART fashion shows. This year, they're upping the ante with two events that culminate the weekend of Wearable ART 4 on August 16th.
BOTH events open with a blaze on Tuesday (yes, that's right, a TUESDAY opening reception) July 29th from 5:00-6:30 pm. Wearable ART: the exhibition is a gallery-based version of the hottest runway show in town, featuring works by: Jennifer Bewerse, Jason Leigh, Maria Saraceno, Kim Michelle Coakley, emiko oye and Leslie Fry.
The second exhibition taps into the playful, powerful spirit of childhood. Pinellas county artist Vivian Ruegger had been toying with the idea of images based on Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland tale for years, she says. Her ruminations resulted in a striking series that will be featured in a three-week long silent auction to benefit DFAC. Gallery visitors can bid on any of the twenty-plus giclee' prints (taken from the original watercolors) of Down the Rabbit Hole: Vivian Ruegger's Alice Project. Works will be auctioned over the three-week period with the highest bidder ultimately awarded the print. "These images really bring back that first out-of-the-box thinking that Alice in Wonderland IS for so many children," noted DFAC executive director George Ann Bissett, "I know why they stuck with Vivian for so long, it's a great and unforgettable story!"

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM PRESENTS ART FROM THE HEART II
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to exhibit Art From the Heart II, an exhibition of artwork created by consumers from PARC (Pinellas Association for Retarded Children). Artwork is presented in a variety of mediums including sculpture, watercolor, oil, and paper mache. An opening reception will be held June 12, 2008 at 7pm. The event is open to the public, admission is $12 and free to Florida Holocaust Museum members. The Art from the Heart II exhibition is on display through August 15, 2008.
This exhibition is collaboration between the Museum and PARC. During the Holocaust, people with developmental disabilities were one of many groups targeted by the Nazis. Since part of the Museum's mission is to teach all people to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of human life, the Museum is honored to celebrate the work of PARC consumers.
PARC Fine Arts Studio was established in 2000 to give people with disabilities the opportunity to explore their inner spirit and creativity and express themselves through art - no matter what the medium. PARC provides opportunities for individuals with disabilities to exercise their independence, enjoy an enhanced quality of life and experience life to the fullest.

Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.
