The Israeli art exhibition that salutes Israeli artists, sponsored by Bank Hapoalim, starts tomorrow (Friday) for the 23rd year.
This year the exhibition will be dedicated to the topic of mental health and dealing with mental disability and traumas following the war, and all proceeds from it will be donated to "Anush" - the Israeli association for mental health.
The organization provides prevention, treatment and rehabilitation services to the general population, to people facing mental disabilities and their families, and to teenagers and young adults throughout the country.
Since the outbreak of the war, the members of the organization have been active in many places where their expertise was required, adapting the work of the teams to respond to the thousands of contestants and their families in the various sectors, both to the general public and to targeted populations, in dealing with trauma - including post-trauma on a military background.

Also, "Israeli Art" will this year offer a "museum store" that will operate throughout the four days of the exhibition and will offer items for sale from the RU OK brand of the Anush association, such as shirts, hats, key chains and bracelets.
