The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will present a special, hands-on, art workshop for children ages ten and up, where they will participate in an interactive art demonstration with internationally-renowned, 3D pop artist Charles Fazzino, creator of the “Heroes of the Holocaust” exhibition, currently on display at HMTC, as well as Holocaust survivors.
The workshop will take place on Thursday, Dec. 7 at 3:30 p.m. at HMTC, Welwyn Preserve, 100 Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove.
During the workshop, kids will get the opportunity to work with Fazing to create a replica of his “After the Darkness” art, which he created exclusively for HMTC, and interact with Holocaust survivors who also have an interest in art. Kids will contribute their own work to the collaboration and get a behind the scenes look at Fazzino’s distinctive 3D technique and how it is created.
Space is limited, so RSVP in advance is required. For more information or to RSVP contact Deborah Lom at 516-571-8040 or dlom@hmtcli.org. A donation of $10 to participate is requested.
