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

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 6, Mural 14: Judy Kopelman
As the day comes to an end, Judy Kopelman finishes the last piece of the day, the Sixth Day of Creation.
Day 4, Mural 2: Judy Kopelman
Also burning the midnight oil tonight is Judy and husband/assistant Arik. That’s dedication!
Day 3, Mural 1: Schechter
Judy Kopelman adds her text to the collaborative mural at the Schechter Institutes. Her giant stenciled letters read “מן המקום שבו לא היינו אל המקום שבו לא נהיה” — From the place we were not to the place we won’t be, from a poem by Nathan Zach that speaks about eternity.
