The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is proud to announce the Pittsburgh premiere of the award-winning documentary Not the Last Butterfly, the story of a San Diego artist’s dream to work with communities to paint 1.5 million ceramic butterflies to remember the 1.5 million children murdered in the Holocaust. Cheryl Rattner Price, founder and Executive Director of the Butterfly Project, will be at all of the screenings to take questions and discuss the project with attendees.
The screenings at the Holocaust Center will also feature the opening of their newest exhibit, which will
display the art pieces made from all butterflies painted this summer at 23 libraries across Allegheny
County. After the exhibit, the art pieces will be given to the participating libraries as permanent installations.
The Sewickley Public Library was proud to be apart of the Butterfly Project and we look forward to having the butterflies made by our community members on display in the library.
