Upcoming Events

MJCC Gallery Exhibition of the "Passover Portfolio" by Shlomo Katz.
This exhibit, from the MJCC's collection, consists of ten large folio serigraphs that illustrate the Passover story. Each lavishly colored illustration has a deep, rich, bright golden background with brilliantly colored scenery and figures that emit a three-dimensional depth. Katz (1937-1992) was born in Poland, immigrated to Israel in 1945, and trained at the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris.
