   The public is invited to view the art work during regular gallery hours which are from 10:30 a.m. through 3 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday.

   The contest is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, Quad City Arts, and the Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Committee).  The art work reflects the events and impact of the Holocaust.
