The following is a two-part spotlight of Craig Dershowitz, CEO of the Art Over Hate Collective. Part one will discuss his unique twist on familiar signage. Part two will invite the general public to a unique event with a hostage and his brother.

PART ONE

What does a musical event with a hostage, a Genizah event for posters, and the sign in front of my house have in common? This man, Craig Dershowitz.

His organization Art Over Hate Collective sets aside politics and brings people together worldwide with artwork that largely supports mental health.

PART TWO

Two brothers at the Nova Festival. One taken hostage. Both survive to tell the tale; told with a DJ and music inspiring the memories.

In part two of this spotlight, Craig Dershowitz tells me about his unique events in Los Angeles, San Diego and Chicago. No politics, just humanity. And I have the comp to get you in for free.
