Roz Jacobs with students in gallery-Florida Holocaust Museum

Florida Holocaust Museum
St. Petersburg, Florida

October 11-December 29, 2014

The Memory Project exhibit was on display in an 1100 square foot gallery on the Florida Holocaust Museum's second floor. It looked spectacular. Along with the exhibit, we held In art workshops for docents and students in which we included photographs and stories of survivors from the St. Petersburg community. Here are a few of the students' comments about the exhibits and the workshops:

…the colors have feelings.” Devin W.

It was like Kalman was looking straight through me, though all the masks I put up to protect myself.” Carmen L.

The canvases showed different emotions and levels of intensity depending on the colors and facial expressions used.” Jordan R.

Creating something without worrying about perfection, but simply observing the contrasts was fun and a bit mind-blowing for me!” Heather C.
