Henry Pestka Art and Poetry Contest Resources
Safe spaces for productive conversation and creative expression are integral to creating meaningful learning experiences. The Henry Pestka Art & Poetry Contest is designed for students who are completing Michigan state education requirements for Holocaust and Genocide Education, enabling them the opportunity to process and reflect on the concepts they learned through writing or art.
Participants in the Henry Pestka Art and Poetry Contest can find resources on artists or artworks within the GVSU Art Museum Collection that have a connection to the Holocaust. These resources contain information on specific artists, history in relation to the Holocaust, and prompts for creating an art project for the contest.
