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!
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 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.

Day 4, Mural 3: Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen
Lenore Mizrachi-Cohen gets started on her mural on a crazy rig we had to set up in the First Station lot. She didn’t get far today before we had to stop on account of rain.
