Family Portrait: Masterclass with Sasha Galitskiy

A rare opportunity to learn from, and draw with an acclaimed Russian Israeli artist Sasha Galitskiy.* This event is all about stories – your family his-tory, the stories we tell, the stories we do not talk about, and stories we make up when we put our kids to bed.   Storytelling has earned its place as the most important tradition humans possess. Stories teach us to imagine, to love, to forgive and to just strive for better. Under the direction of Sasha Galitskiy and with the help of Beth Freynk and Kibbutznik staff team, everyone will get to imagine, draw and tell their own story.

*This event will be led in Russian and is a family event, best suited for families with kids ages 5+. Grandparents are encouraged to attend!
