The Maitland Art Center was founded as an art colony (called the Research Studio) in 1938 by visionary American artist and architect André Smith (1880-1959).

One of the oldest Holocaust Centers in the nation, this facility has a large permanent exhibit area, rotating exhibits of world-class Holocaust-related visual art, and a 6,000 volume library. Offerings include community observances of Kristallnacht and Yom HaShoah, a series of documentary films, adult education classes, and a comprehensive teacher training program.

In addition to a permanent museum exhibit and a substantial library, The Holocaust Memorial Center offers an annual series of world-class visual arts exhibits, films, community events and educational programs. Examining the past and learning from it helps us understand the nature and consequences of prejudice, and encourages us to create a more tolerant and respectful community. Open Monday through Thursday 9 to 4, Friday 9 to 1, Sunday 1 to 4. No admission charged.
