It’s been such a blast seeing people enjoying our new work at the First Station. We’ve put together an album of all the art we’ve painted there so far. Check it out!
All 10 First Station Murals
Year: 2019
7 Days of Creation
We partnered with Kol HaOt and Hutzot Hayotzer, the Artists’ Colony to create this series of seven murals for the seven days of creation. We were honored to add some color to this hub of Jewish creativity just across the street from the walls of the Old City. Here’s the full series of completed murals.
Schechter Mural
Our collaborative mural for the Schechter Institute incorporates text and quotes from a variety Jewish sources, ancient and modern, centering on the concept of creation and learning. Each artist picked a source that they personally found meaningful and painted it on the wall in their own chosen style.
Day 12, Mural 18: Bareket Kezwer
Bareket continues painting her mural at First Station, and we can see the design taking shape.
Day 11, Mural 18: Bareket Kezwer
Artist Bareket Kezwer helps us cap up the Festival by painting one final mural at the First Station.
Day 9-10, Mural 1: Schechter
Over the last couple days we’ve had two more special guests add to our mural at the Schechter Institute: David Moss and Jamie Shear. Judy Kopelman added another text of her own, and with that the mural is done. Stay tuned for more photos once the scaffold comes down!
Day 8, Mural 1: Schechter
Now that the opening is behind us and Sukkot is over, we’re back at the Schechter Institute to add more layers to our mural there. Painting there today from our team is Lenore Mizrachi. We also have the amazing privilege of three phenomenal calligraphers and designers joining us: Izzy Pludwinski, David Goldstein, and Bentzi Binder.
Mural 17: FALUJA
We have signage! And mounted above the description of the exhibition by the Jerusalem Biennale is a pair of sculptures by Itamar Palogi, a.k.a FALUJA. We don’t have wall labels on the pieces yet, but those are coming soon.
Mural 16: Dan Groover
Let’s not forget the incredible Dan Groover, the OG of Jewish street art, who painted a piece specially for us that now welcomes everyone as they enter the First Station!
Day 7, Mural 15
We weren’t able to get all seven days of creation finished yesterday, so a special secret team-up stopped by Friday morning to work on the Second Day of Creation — sea and sky.
