About the Gallery
The Genia Schreiber University Art Gallery (founded in 1988) was established by Prof. Mordechai Omer (1941–2011), professor in the Department of Art History, who directed the gallery for many years. The gallery is open to the general public and serves as a vital bridge between the academy, the art community, and the public at large. The exhibitions it presents offer interpretive readings of artistic and research practices, alongside the display of archives, collections, and creative work processes.
Through its diverse channels of activity, the gallery is not only an exhibition venue but also a space for study and action, promoting interdisciplinarity by integrating art exhibitions, research, and innovative pedagogy. Student projects from the David and Yolanda Katz Faculty of the Arts are presented regularly, and the gallery also serves as a platform for collaborations with a wide range of cultural bodies and hosts community initiatives both within and beyond the university. Through activities that connect past and future, the Genia Schreiber University Art Gallery seeks to contribute to the advancement of art and culture in Israel and to the establishment of a robust social infrastructure grounded in professional, critical, and inclusive discourse.
