  Digital Storytelling at the Mizel Museum

In Fall, 2008, The Mizel Museum began to build a permanent exhibit of digital stories with members of the Denver Jewish community.  We worked with the Center for Digital Storytelling to create a new permanent exhibit with members of the Denver Jewish community.  This resulted in ten 3-minute stories that were part of a community effort designed to engage outstanding candidates willing to share personal stories of resilience in a digital narrative.  They were paired with ten members from the community who supported, aided and help develop and refine these works of art.

The library will continue to grow with the help of Sari Horovitz and the staff of The Mizel Museum.  If you would like to suggest great local candidates for our story library, please have them call (303) 394-9993 ext. 104 or email Deanne, Special Projects Manager.
