MarK Eliyahu - Chamber Music Festival

Art Exhibition | For the People: Street Art and Graffiti The Negev Arts Museum, Beer Sheba This new exhibition is bringing some of the best Israeli street art from the outside into the inside, giving artists full rein to express themselves directly onto the museum walls. The exhibition focuses on the three layers of graffiti art: the artist, the art itself, and the person looking at the art, each layer telling its own story: be it of loneliness, of social criticism, or of a specific moment from everyday life. The exhibition includes many impressive works, drawn or painted onto the museum walls, doors, cupboards, shelves, etc. (Curator: Nirit Dahan). Until April 30 th , negev-museum.org.il
