Revolving Doors: Pillars of Light - Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh

Pillars of Light: Holocaust Center

2012

In August 2012, Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh held a call for glass artists to submit their “big ideas”. Artist Daviea Davis’s winning proposal: create spinning, lit glass pillars each expressing a local nonprofit. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh was one of thirteen nonprofits that participated in this project. This pillar is the result of Davis’s individualized research and understanding of our work.

Davis is a Pittsburgh-based glass mosaic artist working with salvaged glass. Her work is dedicated to creating lasting tributes to a time, place, or feeling.

The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh connects the horrors of the Holocaust and antisemitism with injustices of today. Through education, the Holocaust Center seeks to address these injustices and empower individuals to build a more civil and humane society.

Offerings include: exhibits in our public gallery, an extensive library and archive, engaging cultural events, internationally renowned speakers, and free and affordable resources for teachers.

The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is now part of the new Tree of Life. Learn more at RememberRebuildRenew.org
