22 Federation Star March 2019 COMMUNITY FOCUS 23 rd annual Dr. Talbot Spivak Holocaust Memorial Week By Professor Cindy Campbell and Dr. Rona Axelrod Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) will observe the 23 rd annual Dr. Talbot Spivak Holocaust Memorial Week, March 25- 29, with a series of events. This year’s theme, “The Holocaust: Unheeded Warnings,” will focus on the early warning signs that were ignored and how they led to the horrors of the Holocaust. The mission of the Dr. Talbot Spivak Holocaust Memorial Week at FSW is to educate students and the community about the Holocaust, to honor its victims and survivors, to cultivate tolerance, and to promote awareness of modern-day genocide in support of the world’s promise of “Never Again.” A major feature of the Holocaust Memorial Week at FSW continues to be firsthand commentary by Holocaust survivors. Our local community has been blessed to have a number of residents who are Holocaust survivors and are willing to share their personal Holocaust experiences with students and the community.

COMMUNITY FOCUS Naples Fine Art Show feature artist Renowned organizer Hot Works Fine Art & Fine Craft Shows is bringing two fine art and fine craft shows to Naples in 2019 – March 30 & 31 and December – at Galleria Shoppes at Vanderbilt. One of the artists whose work will be prominently featured this March is Bonnie ‘Zoey’ Ziskin of Minneapolis and Naples. Bonnie is a 70-year-old woman who has been an accountant, a surgical nurse, and now an artist. She considers being an artist the most fun time of her entire life, and also the most prolific. Being a stage IV lung cancer patient and going through surgeries and treatments over the past few years, she has discovered she no longer has a “fear of failure.” This gift of true “freedom” prompted her to try things she was always afraid of accomplishing. Art was something that just started flowing out of every pore, and it was almost scary producing enough to have her first show four months after her start. Bonnie has her B.A. in Communications and has not had any formal art training. Her acrylic mixed media on canvas and fused glass are her main focus. Most of her art is in primary bright colors and is meant to put a smile of your face. Everyone who walks into her booth leaves with a smile. That means her mission was accomplished! “I can hardly wait to jump out of bed in the morning and start my art, even if I am still in a bathrobe,” says Bonnie. Meet Bonnie and 75 other juried artists at Hot Works’ Naples Fine Art Show, March 30 & 31 at Galleria Shoppes at Vanderbilt, located on the corner of Airport-Pulling and Vanderbilt Beach Roads. Event hours are Saturday and The Federation is a proud sponsor of the Naples Fine Art Show. Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. All disciplines are original and personally handmade by the artist who is present at the show; all art is for sale including paintings, sculpture, clay, glass, fiber, wood, jewelry, photography and more. There is something for everyone, in all price ranges. $1,500 in Professional Artist Awards is distributed on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free, but an optional $5 donation supports Institute for Arts & Education, the associated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to visual arts, cultural diversity, community enrichment and fostering art education among youth. While at the art show, be sure to visit the Budding Artist Competition, a program integrated within a 10x20 area in the show.
