I Will Wake the Dawn: Illuminated Psalms — Paintings by Debra Band
Vivid rather than ethereal, passionate rather than sentimental, the Book of Psalms brings the voices of ancient Jerusalem and the experiences of modern life into our prayers and celebrations. I Will Wake the Dawn offers Hebrew and English illuminations of a representative anthology of 36 psalms. The exhibit presents 82 illuminated paintings on parchment in vivid color and gold that brings these beloved poems to life. Exhibited across the US and Canada, the paintings and their accompanying commentary were published by the Jewish Publication Society in 2007.
"Ary Stillman: From Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism"
Russian-American Jewish artist Art Stillman (1891-1967) began his career at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilna, Lithuania. He arrived in the U.S. in 1907, and for many years focused on creating representational works that were influenced by Impressionism. After the Holocaust, he ceased painting representational works, asserting that he no longer felt that the "surface of things" was real. He devoted himself almost entirely to abstract expressionism, becoming an acclaimed member of the New York School of abstract expressionists. This exhibit includes works from all phases of Stillman's remarkable career.
The Coat of Many Colors: A Quest for Jewish Togetherness
Paintings and drawings by Israeli artist Alexander Vaisman. Vaisman’s work illuminates the experience of being Jewish. His art is motivated by a strong sense of belonging to a rich and vigorous culture. Like colorful pieces of a puzzle, his works form a multilayered but unified mosaic picture of Jewish past and present, and provide an optimistic glimpse into the future.
Portraits of Life
A photographic exhibit of local Holocaust survivors, “Portraits of Life” is a Montgomery College project designed to foster tolerance, reflection on the collective community, and dialogues focused on understanding and reconciliation. The 36-panel photography exhibit provides visual imagery and personal histories of Holocaust survivors who live in this area. Montgomery College Professors Jon Goell and Brian Jones and their students developed this traveling digital photographic exhibit.
40th Anniversary Retrospective: How The New York Times Covered the Six-Day War
This exhibit recalled six days that transformed the Middle East and continue to echo to the present. Presented by CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), the exhibit illustrated how the news media, and what we can learn from it, have changed.
