Harry and Sandra Gersh — along with their daughter, Sarah Nellans, and granddaughter, Soshi Nellans — are Ormond Memorial Art Museum’s featured family from the museum’s July 7 Free Family Art Night event.

Harry Gersh has been a Volusia County resident since 1976, when he opened the Daytona Magic Shop at 136 S. Beach St.

His granddaughter Soshi, who is 3, is "already becoming a magician." according to a statement to the Observer by OMAM.

For Family Art Night, the family made miniature books depicting a fun summer experience.

"The family came to the Ormond Free Family Art Night to get Soshi more involved in art and to be a part of Ormond Memorial Art Museum," the museum's statement continues.

The museum’s Family Art Night takes place from 5:30-7 p.m. on most first Fridays of the month. All art supplies are provided, and the program is sponsored in part by the Women United Volusia Chapter.

The next program is scheduled for Aug. 4.
