EXODUS: OUR JOURNEYS

New Exhibit by ORA Artists

Miriam Dancing by Diane Fredgant

ORA, the Hebrew word for “light,” is the name of a Portland artists’ collective, a group of twelve women artists who have come together to support, share, inspire, and enjoy each other and to showcase their art.

A year ago OJM hosted their first show, Breishit: In the Beginning. This year the women of ORA return to the museum on February 7 with a new exhibit, Exodus: Our Journeys. This exhibit is an artistic and spiritual exploration of Torah text, of personal and artistic journeys. Works on display will include collage, paint, silk, fiber, precious metals, beadwork, glass, and photography.

Members of the ORA collective include Rosana Berdichevsky, Sara Harwin, Esther Liberman, Diane Fredgant, Sabina Wohfeiler, Robin Esterkin, Laura Joy Fendel, Lynn Dorman, Leslie Elder, Sharon Segal, Julie Hockley, and Eddy Shuldman.

The exhibit will run from February 7 through February 24, 2008.

Please join us for a FIRST THURSDAY opening on February 7, 2008, 5-8 p.m.
