NOT YOUR ORDINARY have to educate as much as run our businesses." Quite often, that means discussing the various Jewish traditions with Jewish and gentile buyers. Each year, Mrs. Nelson packs up her special Judaica pieces and heads to art shows around the country. Later this year, she'll bring her Judaica works to the national conferences for Ortho- dox, Conservative and Reform Jews. Regardless of denomina- tion, Mrs. Nelson said, there is an universal appreciation for Ju- daica. Perhaps that means plenty of heirlooms to be handed down from generation to generation. Photojournalist Captures Bosnia As a photojournalist, Edward Serotta spent the years leading up to — and following — the demise of the Iron Curtain fo- cusing his camera on the lives of people living in the former Yu- goslavia and other Central Eu- ropean countries. When the Jews he had photographed, and made friends with, asked him to revis- it war-torn Bosnia-Herzegovina, he witnessed what had never happened before: For the first time during a modern European war, the Jewish community is saving, rescuing and protecting its neighbors, regardless of their ethnicity, however possible. These photographs are the fo- cus of the travelling exhibition, "Survival in Sarajevo: How a Jewish Community Came to the Aid of Its City," on display at Spertus Museum, 618 South Michigan Avenue, beginning Sunday, April 9. The exhibition runs through Sunday, Aug. 6. Mr. Serotta's photographs are the product of the 31 days spent capturing Jewish life during the Serbian siege of the Bosnian cap- ital. The expedition itself was spurred by a desire to observe the surge of nationalism with its im- ages of "ethnic cleansing" over- running Bosnia-Herzegovina's untraveled round to democracy. Mr. Serottas was born in Sa- vannah, Georgia, in 1949, and works as a freelance photogra- pher and writer. Presently, Mr. Serotta lives in Berlin, where he organizes the Central Europe Center for Research and Docu- mentation. Summer Camp For Creativity A Visual and Performing Arts Camp will be held at the Corn- munity House during the sum- mer for children ages 6 to 14. This program will integrate the visual and the performing arts including art, music, dance, theater, and drama. Campers will have hands-on opportunities to write their own music, lyrics and scripts, to choreograph dances, and to design and con- struct costumes and stage sets. Cooperation between age groups in exploring their ideas will re- sult in an original, final perfor- mance which will include all campers. Field trips and visits from pro- fessionals in the arts will round out the experience. Campers are not required to have any previous experience in any of the arts. The camp will take place at The Community House week- days from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be two sessions: June 26 - July 14 (omit July 4); July 24 - Aug. 11. Additional supervision for campers before and after reg- ular camp hours is available. To register, contact the Pro- gram Department at the Com- munity House located, 380 South Bates Street in downtown Birm- ingham, (810) 644-5832. April 21, 22 & 23 Friday- 4 pm - 8 pm Saturday- 10 am - 8 pm Sunday- 12 noon - 5 pm CROSSWINDS MALL At the corner of Orchard Lake & Lone Pine Roads To benefit Variety, the Children's Charity Arts Education Program Funded Wayne State University's College of Fine, Performing and Com- munication Arts, Hudson's, and other area funders are working together to show how the arts positively affect children's edu- cation. Hudson's has initiated the Arts Education and Community partnership in Detroit, a program to strengthen education through the arts in partnership with the Detroit Public Schools. This project is an outgrowth of a community arts assessment process which Hudson's began nearly two years ago with Art,sVi- sion, a consulting group from New York. A major goal of this program is overall school im- provement through the arts. The project will directly impact a stu- dent's life by providing classroom experiences that demonstrate the connection of the arts to all as- pects of everyday life and learn- ing. It will not only impact the arts but other disciplines such as math and reading will be posi- tively affected. Wayne State University's College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts will serve as the administrator of this program, which will provide re- sources in order to facilitate a comprehensive five-year imple- mentation for the creation of arts- intensive curriculum. To help fund the program, Wayne State University has thus far received initial grants of $80,000 from Hudson's and $5,000 from the Earl Beth Foun- dation. Grants are also being sought from other area funders.
