Hussian School of Art students Honored at National Museum of American Jewish History

Students from the Hussian School of Art, located in the Bourse Building in Historic Philadelphia, were honored at the National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) for their unique stamp designs of the "Only in America" Gallery/Hall of Fame Honorees.

These include such distinguished Jewish Americans as Albert Einstein, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Estee Lauder, Golda Meir, Jonas Salk, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and more.

Among the students honored was James Clark, of Willow Grove, who depicted for his stamp design.

The project was conceived by Hussian School of Art chairman Ron Dove as a welcoming gesture to their new neighbor, the NMAJH, and to find a way for the students to understand the significance of the Museum.

“We are overwhelmed by the wonderful reception the stamps have received and are so pleased our students have received great recognition for their work,” Bruce Wartman, president of Hussian School Art, said.
