In the Land of Wooden Shoes – A Holocaust Remembrance opens June 12, 2026, in the Lenz Gallery at First Presbyterian Church.

Join us for an Opening Night Reception on Friday, June 12 at 6:00pm in the Sturgis Gathering Area and Lenz Gallery.

This powerful exhibition, a collaboration between the Anne Frank Center and South Carolina artist Mary Burkett, tells the stories of children affected by the Holocaust through moving visual portraits and storytelling. More than an art exhibit, it is an immersive experience of remembrance—honoring young lives, fostering empathy, and inviting reflection.

The exhibition runs through November and is open to individuals, families, schools, and community groups, with guided tours and special programming available. For more information or group bookings, contact Chelsea Fraser at cfraser@firstpresgreenville.org

From 1994 to 2014, illustrator Tim Davis created more than 600 images for the beloved Hidden Pictures feature in Highlights magazine.

We are excited to bring Tim’s work to the Galleries at First Pres in his premier exhibition, Hidden Pictures. Each scene encourages viewers to study carefully and fully take it in—perhaps noticing more than the obvious. The Gospels likewise invite us to seek truths often missed by most.

Join us for the opening reception of Hidden Pictures on Friday, June 26 at 6:00pm.

The exhibit will remain on display through September, inviting children and adults alike to discover beauty, wonder, and truths hidden in plain sight.

“I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children.”- Luke 10:21
