The Taubman Museum of Art: Exhibition of 36 Israeli artists
The Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke curated a four-month-long exhibit of 36 Israeli artists and graciously hosted a Virginia Israel Advisory Board Gala evening with 150 guests enjoying conversations with the Curator, after-hours gallery tour and dinner. Visions of Place: Complex Geographies in Contemporary Israeli Art offers a unique lens through which to view and better understand the complexities of Israel, as well as a vehicle for examining themes central to humanity and society, including ethnicity, religion, geographical boundaries, and identities. Half the artists are women with others from many different backgrounds, including: Arab artists who are Muslim, Christian, and Druze (From the Museum’s exhibition material). The Exhibition was funded by the Sam & Marion Golden Helping Hand Foundation.
