The Lake Pavilion & Terrace

ArtWorks is an art exhibition and fundraiser highlighting the mission and impact of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). ADL was founded in 1913 to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all. ADL is proud to present Artist of the Year : professional, celebrated artist, Jonatas Chimen Dias DaSilva-Benayon. Jonatas’ art embodies his first-hand experience of coming into the light of freedom after his family endured centuries of secretly sustaining a crypto-Judaic heritage. This fascinating story can be universally experienced and appreciated as a narrative about protecting and embracing Identity. ArtWorks 2015 will feature original works created by Jonatas exclusively for this special event and offer an opportunity to meet and interact with the artist. This year’s event is curated by Suzanne Khalil, Ph.D.
