Spring into Pesach with WIZO

A hands-on succulent workshop that brought together creativity, nature, and community. Participants created their own plant arrangements, echoing the themes of the show: a connection to nature, plants, and cultural memory. It was a lovely way to welcome the season and celebrate the spirit of Pesach surrounded by art..The event brought incredible energy as over 50 women participated in creating their own succulent arrangements with guidance from Leslie of Petalia. Led by Natalie Landman, Chairperson of WIZO Nefesh.

 

 

Gen AI in the Art Panel Discussion
We wrapped up a thought-provoking panel on the impact of AI in the creative field, bringing together artists and technologists to explore the intersection of innovation and imagination. Panelists included Meaghan Kent (Independent Curator and Deputy Director of MOCA), Andrew McLees (Art-Digital Innovation Manager at Locust Projects), Rodolfo Peraza (Founder of the Mud Foundation), AdrienneRose Gionta (AI + Human Collaborator/Researcher and Oolite Artist Alumni), and Mike P (Gen-AI Leader at Amazon Web Services).

The discussion centered on how best to approach AI in the arts—highlighting the importance of understanding the tools we use and the need to train institutions on how to talk about, implement, and exhibit AI-driven work. Panelists emphasized that while working with AI presents unique challenges, it also opens exciting new possibilities for collaboration and creativity.

Guests also had the chance to engage with a Clone of Dahlia—an AI-trained version of the artist behind Bringing the Outside In—and ask it questions about the exhibition and the role of generative art. Nearby, an interactive AI image generator invited visitors to type in any word and watch it transform into a unique artwork inspired by the floral and domestic themes of the show. This playful and imaginative feature remains available for exploration throughout the exhibition.

 

 

Collector’s Round Table
Next, we gathered a dynamic group of collectors to discuss building collections, the value of art, supporting emerging artists and market dynamics with contemporary art. Featuring Mindy Soloman (Founder of the Mindy Soloman Gallery), Kathryn Mikesell (co-founder and executive director of the Fountainhead Art), Donnalynn Patakos (art advisor, Public Speaker, Author and Principal of Portray Magazine) and Nuria Roberts (Interim Director of Development at Oolite).

Artist Talk

We kicked things off with Aldeide Delgado (founder and director of WOPHA), in conversation featuring Dahlia Dreszer, sharing insight into her creative process and what inspired her work behind ‘Bringing the outside in’.

 

Opening of Bringing the Outside In

We launched Bringing the Outside In with an opening night that welcomed friends, family, and members of the community into a space filled with photography, floral installations, and domestic memory. Guests explored the immersive environment while enjoying refreshments, meaningful conversations, and a first look at the AI elements woven throughout the show. The evening set the tone for a heartfelt and reflective exhibition run.
