Businesspeople and art collectors arrived June 23 at the Ofer Mall in Ramat Aviv for the opening of the exhibition "Beating Heart," created by ARTRAISING - a social venture to raise donations for the Variety Association.
The works displayed in the exhibition are for sale, with all the proceeds going to the artists and Variety, which works for children with special needs in Israel.
The exhibition brings together works by Israeli artists, in diverse techniques, where behind each of them is a powerful and exciting story with hope and optimism. Among the works presented in the exhibition are those created by artists from the Gaza border communities and the North, survivors of the Nova Pprty, as well as by soldiers and reservists who were wounded in the war.
The event was opened by David Ben Moshe, CEO of Ofer Ramat Aviv Mall.
"This is an exhibition that curates within it creations that are a tangible expression of the history that is being written these days and will remain as a testimony for generations. Among the artists and exhibitors are reservists, residents of the Otef, residents of the North, Nova survivors, and international artists who reflect the whole mosaic of our country."
Those who came to support Variety included Liora Ofer, chairwoman of Melisron, Udi Angel, president of Variety, Smadar Bar Tsadik, Rona Angel - CEO of Ofer Investments, Shlomit Elad - CEO of Variety, and tennis player Andy Ram.
