The Genesis Art Series was a unique fundraising project begun in 1971. Each year for twelve years, the GRTWA commissioned a noted artist to create an original work of art based on parshas from the Book of Genesis. Then, in 1990 we undertook a similar project by commissioning the popular artist, Mordechai Rosenstein to create an original piece that would depict the school's philosophy, "Educate a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it."
In all cases, the artists were required to "break the mold" so that the pieces would be exclusive to Gottesman RTW Academy. These pieces of art make perfect gifts, especially for weddings or special anniversaries. Some have already sold out, and the prices (unframed) for the remaining pieces are listed below.
To view a photograph of any piece, click on its title below. But you really must see them in person to appreciate their full beauty. Contact Jill Granik at [email protected] to arrange to view the art in person or to inquire about purchasing them.
