Carol Worthey - No More Genocides

Gallery Opening, Exhibit in Honor of The Armenian Genocide, Royal Gallery, 1418 West Glenoaks Boulevard, Glendale, California, April 22nd, 2007.

Invited by Gallery Owner Armen Atomts to create a new painting for this annual memorial exhibit, Carol Worthey created No More Genocides, an intensely colorful and moving new art piece featuring iconic images of faith, devastation, sorrow, hope and the resilience of the human spirit. The Armenian Genocide (1915) was the first genocide of the Twentieth Century; over a million and a half Armenians were slaughtered. April 24th of every year is a memorial to those lost. As a Jew and a humanitarian member of Artists for Human Rights, Carol was honored to be invited. Each artwork by a total of 62 artists was a significant piece, beautiful, meaningful and powerful. Many community leaders from a variety of ethnicities spoke and artists performed. Carol enlightened the attentive crowd briefly on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and then improvised a song, using Jewish-tinged melody to create an entreaty for peace and understanding amongst all peoples. It is her fervent hope to have No More Genocides. For a detailed description of this work, please visit the Gallery page here.
