The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded Florida Atlantic University $559,272 under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) on September 1, 2026, to establish an initiative integrating historical inquiry, contemporary artistic practice, and museum education through exhibitions and public programs examining cultural, political, and social conditions that shape prejudice, democratic values, and human rights.

Florida Atlantic University Galleries will develop a coordinated sequence of exhibitions, public programs, and educational initiatives connecting Holocaust history with broader cultural conversations. The project will employ two graduate assistant workers to support development of educational resources for teacher training and public programs, curatorial research, exhibition development, and interpretive planning. The intended outcome is expanded public understanding of Holocaust history, antisemitism, and related societal phenomena through interdisciplinary exhibitions and public programming.

Work is performed in Boca Raton, Florida. The period of performance runs through August 31, 2029.
