Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit to remember the Holocaust, Hitler’s program to commit genocide against those he deemed unworthy, especially Europe’s Jews. This exhibit will open on Tuesday, April 1 and be on display at the museum until Saturday, May 3. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

Beginning in 1933, the German Government established prison, labor, concentration, and extermination camps throughout their territories, including in countries they occupied before and during the war. Groups that were arrested and detained included Roma, Communists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, the disabled and especially Jews. Some 12 million people perished in the more than 44,000 facilities, ghettos and killing fields across Europe, including 6 million Jews. The Museum acknowledges the need for all citizens to understand this dark period of history, what caused it, who perpetrated it, and how some resisted and fought their captors. Eyewitnesses such as survivors and the soldiers that liberated these camps are aging and dying, but many have told their stories. Visitors are invited to come see this sobering exhibit, and help our society remember those that were victims of atrocity, prejudice, and hate.

The internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar and it marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which started on April 19, 1943. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. In 2025, Yom HaShoah will be recognized beginning at sunset on the evening of Wednesday, April 23 - Thursday, April 24.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Venvi Art Gallery is delighted to exhibit "Locust Technician", a showcase of Florida State University (FSU)'s BFA and MFA student artwork. It will be on display from April 4th to May 18th, with its opening on April 4th from 5-8pm.

This exhibition features the work of Florida State University students, whose artworks navigate themes of resilience, transformation, and shared humanity in the face of adversity. In “Locust Technician,” the artists take inspiration from the complex symbolism of locusts—creatures that straddle the delicate line between destruction and abundance, silence and cacophony, devastation and renewal.

The title, "Locust Technician", evokes a tension between the organic and the mechanical, suggesting the meticulous, almost surgical examination of life’s unexpected challenges. Locusts are reminders of cycles that challenge us to find meaning in their duality. Artists approach these challenges with the same thoughtful attention that transforms small studies into larger, more impactful works. Through interrogating how these small studies function, the artist shapes and layers insights and revisions into their larger creations. This exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how individual studies are part of the process that adapts and contributes to a process of continual refinement to become a finished work of art.

"Locust Technician" shares new perspectives, engaging deeply with issues of shared experience and personal introspection. The exhibition provides a space for reflection, transforming adversity into creativity and signaling the limitless potential for change. By interpreting the locust not merely as a harbinger of disaster but as a symbol of strength, multiplicity, and transformation, this exhibition challenges what we might see as adversity as a catalyst for growth.

"Locust Technician" will be on display from April 4th to May 18th, with its opening from 5-8pm. Venvi Art Gallery is located at 2901 East Park Avenue Unit 2800 Tallahassee, FL 32301. To learn more about this exhibit, please visit our website at www.venviartgallery.com.
