Central to the exhibit are thirteen mural-sized canvases by Christina Schlesinger. “The Dorothy Paintings” reimagine Dorothy’s adventures as the symbol of youthful resilience and independence. “Through my paintings, I wanted to capture Dorothy’s journey as a powerful metaphor for the challenges and triumphs young girls face in discovering their own strengths,” says Schlesinger.
Families can engage in hands-on activities both indoors and out by building LEGO creations in the “No Place Like Home” room cooling off in the “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sprinkler. The Palette supper club offering dishes inspired by the world of Oz, complemented by Oz-centered jazz performances. Renowned pianist Laszlo Gardony will provide fresh takes on American Songbook classics and riginal compositions, including his arrangement of “Over the Rainbow.”
