In 2024, the grant was awarded to the exhibition “Gilad Ratman: Plecos”. Ratman’s ambitious installation included large-scale clay bodies. Through the grant, a selected group of recent graduates from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design – Din Bar, Romi Ben Yosef, Tamar Hecht, and Tamar Lash – together with Nevo Revivo, a graduate of the School of Visual Theater, were able to take a significant part in the creation of the work through a mentorship workshop with the artist. Thanks to the grant, the Center also held in-depth guided tours of the exhibition for high schools, colleges, universities, and additional pedagogical institutions, led by the artist and the exhibition’s curator.
