On Thursday, January 16, at 6:30 pm, a group exhibition will be opened at Yad Layanim Gallery at 48 Hayarkon Street, a tribute to print and other techniques. The exhibition, "Prints and More," will also include oil paintings, acrylics, photographs from the workshop and more, attended by 16 artists of Miriam Shalev's print workshop, at Kibbutz Ein Carmel.
