Butterfly Project’s Next Wing Takes
Flight (Come Watch!)
The Butterfly Projeet at the
Levine Jewish Community Center
is exeited to announee that work
will begin mid-Oetober installing
hand-painted eeramie butterflies
on a new wing of the Children’s
Holoeaust Memorial Seulpture in
the Margaret and Lou Sehwartz
Butterfly Garden. The artists, Paul
Rousso and Patriek Robertson,
will be out in the garden installing
butterflies on this wing. Feel free
to stop by and wateh these ere-
ative individuals bring more of the
seulpture to life.
The Memorial Seulpture de
signed by Paul Rousso and in
stalled in 2011 eurrently has more
than 2,800 butterflies affixed to it
in mosaie style. Those butterflies
were painted by ehildren, teens
and adults from all over Charlotte
and the surrounding eommunities
on the main wings. It is a beautiful
and meaningful symbol honoring
the memory of the 1.5 million
Jewish ehildren who perished in
the Holoeaust.
Sinee the ereation of the garden
and installation of the seulpture in
2011, more than 9,000 stu
dents have partieipated in
the Butterfly Projeet work
shops. The workshops use
the story of the Holoeaust
as a vehiele to teaeh what
ean happen when preju-
diee, stereotyping and dis-
erimination are allowed to
flourish. During the 2-Vi
hour experienee, partiei
pants hear from a Holo
eaust survivor, partieipate
in an edueational diseus-
sion to build bridges of
eommunieation, under
standing and respeet for all
people, paint a eeramie
butterfly in memory of a
speeifie ehild who per
ished in the Holoeaust, and
visit the Margaret and
Sehwartz Butterfly Garden. For
the 2014-15 sehool year, more
than 4,300 students are already
seheduled to attend a workshop.
To experienee a workshop first
