After a year-long break due to the coronavirus, the 21st annual Israeli Art Exhibition, which salutes young Israeli artists and social art, is back in full force, and this year it will be dedicated to women.
Bank Hapoalim sponsors and is the venue for the exhibit.

In addition, this year’s exhibition will feature a special gift store where selected products will be sold, such as: cookbooks, bags, baskets and other items. All proceeds from the exhibition and from the sale of the merchandise will be donated to the women’s associations.
