Want to See More of Avital’s Works Exhibited?!

To continue exhibiting Avital’s artworks in museums and galleries, dozens of her decades-old paintings and drawings must undergo extensive professional conservation and framing.  Because of the high cost of preservation, many of Avital's best artworks cannot even be considered for public view.

We rely on voluntary contributions to be able to foot restoration and framing expenses for exhibitions. Next up: A major solo show at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, which will feature an independent curator’s selections of Avital’s midcentury and related works. Any tax-deductible donation amount, large or small, to help defray massive “artist expenses” for this exhibition is welcome and will be personally acknowledged, with our gratitude!
