An exhibition “Works by
Jewish Artists from Local Col

30 in the East and West
Galleries at the new Center.
The 27 pieces of original
museum quality art are in
various media including oils,
pastels, prints and drawings.
Among artists represented are
Agam, Baskin, Chagall, Kahn,
Kohlmeyer, Milder, Naril,
Reuben, Soyer and Tobiasse.
Subjects range from the whim
sical to the serious.
Visitors to New York City or
Tel Aviv would go out of their
way to visit such a collection.
We have it right in our back
yard! Take advantage of the
easy accessibility and plan to
see this wonderful art in the
Galleries and the JCC office.
