The
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Michigan region will hold ArtWorks ADL: Justice, Advocacy, & Art™ ArtWorks ADL will be
held on November 17th, 2013 at the Janice Charach Gallery at the West
Bloomfield JCC. The exhibition will be from 4:00-7:00 PM and the program will
begin at 5:30 PM. ArtWorks is an
exhibition, fundraiser, and silent auction event, highlighting the talents of
nationally and locally acclaimed artists for the benefit of ADL.



ArtWorks ADL is the first annual art exhibition, fundraiser, and
silent auction highlighting the mission and impact of the Anti-Defamation
League. ArtWorks ADL features unique and donated artwork
created by today’s leading emerging and established artists. Each piece of
artwork – painting, photography, mixed media, or sculpture – focuses on one or
more aspects of ADL’s mission, including anti-Semitism, extremism, racism,
education, religious freedom, and Israel advocacy. The artwork displayed will
share each artist’s perspective on the mission of ADL. All artwork will be
included in a silent auction where guests can bid on the work. The goal
of ArtWorks ADL is to engage, empower, and educate the Detroit
community about the mission and impact of ADL through art. ArtWorksADL
will celebrate ADL’s achievements over the last 100 years and recognize the
League’s critical work as the voice of justice and fairness for all who have
faced injustice, hatred, or bigotry.

ADL Michigan is hosting the first ArtWorks ADL Jr.
an art competition for metropolitan Detroit students in grades 9-12. The goal
of the competition is to get young people to think about what hate means to
them and share their artist interpretation of how a world without hate would
look and ways we can work together to make that interpretation a reality. ArtWorks
JR Competition can be voted on by going to ADL Michigan’s Facebook page and
liking your favorite in the ADL ArtWorks Jr album. It is a fun and interactive
way to be a part of the event. First prize winners will win $100 and Runners up

most amount of entries wins a half day of ADL A world of Difference Institute
