Rising in Art 2011, an exhibition of works by new immigrants, will open in Bat Yam at the New Gallery of Art Institute on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 20:00. Sponsored by Mayor Shlomi Lahiani, the exhibit is curated and produced by Shai Pardo.
Showcasing the art work of new immigrants to Israel, this year’s exhibition will also feature works by participants in the Young Judaean Year Course Art Track. The Young Judaeans have been studying art with Shai Pardo this past semester and he has decided for the first time to include them in the exhibition and events as they are “potential” olim!
Opening night events will begin at 20:00 with snacks and mingling while viewing the art work, followed by a fashion show with students outside in the street at about 20:45 and closing with performance art directed by Ruvi Fineberg that will take place in the street and the gallery. The New Gallery of Art Institute – Bat Yam is located on 18 Ha’gvul Street (Simcha Holtzberg), and the exhibition will be on display until December 30, 2011.
