Still Listening: 150 years of Jewish Family ServiceThis multi-media exhibition celebrated the 150th anniversary of Jewish Family Service, L.A.'s oldest and largest social service agency. Exhibited at the Skirball Museum and Cultural Center. Six local artists were invited to create original works of art interpreting selected case reports of individuals helped by the agency throughout its history. At the heart of the exhibition was a 12 foot x 12 foot "Text Wall." It featured excerpts of client case reports, culled from JFS archives, of families helped by the organization between 1854 and the present. Designed and fabricated by Creative Ways.

Passageways: Growing up in the WorldPASSAGEWAYS: GROWING UP IN THE WORLD was curated, designed and fabricated by Benny Ferdman and Shari Davis, in partnership with the Israeli arts organization Omanut La'am (Arts for People) who traveled the exhibition in a retrofitted 40 foot x 8 foot shipping container transformed into a "Gallery on Wheels." Interactive galleries explored birth, adolescence and adulthood in cultures across the globe. An integral part of the exhibition was the work of international artists exploring personal "rites of passage." Passageways traveled in Israel for three years to museums, arts festivals, and to communities with little access to the arts. Funded by the Alan B. Slifka Foundation, NYC.
