ATARA Arts and Juneberry Gallery are partnering in organizing an art exhibition: “October 7: Terror, Faith, Hope” – a visual arts initiative to mark the one year anniversary of the most tragic and deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
This project is supported by the ATARA Arts Foundation.
This exhibit will provide a space for Jewish artists to exhibit their expressions of the healing arts in response to the trauma and devastation beginning on October 7, 2023. The exhibition will reflect faith, acceptance and healing, while responding to the ongoing tragedy that has befallen our Land of Israel and the Jewish People.
We intend to encourage a dialogue about the healing arts.
