Our History
|
Executive Director, Leora Raikin shares stories about the intensity of her Uncle David's blue eyes, both in their bright color and in his ability to capture a person, physically and emotionally. Even as a child, she understood the intensity of his artwork and the depth of the subject of his work. Labkovski always expressed an interest in his artwork being used to bear witness to the Holocaust and the behavior of humanity in one of the darkest periods. Leora always understood that his art had a purpose and that her mission was to make his dreams a reality. The educational programs and museum exhibits are the results of this passion and commitment. Along with the Board of Directors for the David Labkovski Project, she has made David's artwork come to life in today's world.
