Art & Social Conscience: HOLOCAUST

This exhibition, the first in the museum’s “Art and Social Conscience”series, features works by art faculty members from 11 of the 16 branches of the University of North Carolina system. Artists were asked to address the Holocaust and its larger context of mankind’s inhumanity to man, and many responded with new work created for the exhibition.

A related Holocaust literary commemoration featuring original works by faculty members of UNCW’s Creative Writing Department, will be published by the Cameron Art Museum in late summer 2008. Writers will read their works to mark the exhibition’s closing in October, 2008.

This exhibition is part of a collaborative project initiated by the UNCW Office of Cultural Arts, with active participation by the UNCW Department of Art & Art History.

The exhibition is generously supported by: Hannah Block, Frank and Wendy Block; and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pancoe.
