Visting Tel Aviv soon? Check out this exhibition.

quiltIn commemoration of Tel Aviv’s centennial, David Sharir, curator of Shalom Tower’s galleries, initiated an exhibit of quilts called “A Gesture to Tel Aviv”. 

Sharir invited the members of the Israel Quilters Association to create pieces that reflected “Tel Aviv.” The quilters took inspiration from the city’s history, architecture, seashore and its combination of Bauhaus buildings and modern skyscrapers, and stitched together almost enough quilts to display one for every year of the city’s history. In the end, 76 solo and group quilts were selected for the exhibition.
