GREATER PHOENIX PASTIMES

MAY 1 - OCTOBER 31, 2023

GREATER PHOENIX ECONOMIC COUNCIL (GPEC)

GPEC presents "Greater Phoenix Pastimes", a hybrid virtual exhibition of selected Arizona artists, whose work reflects their favorite activities to do around the Greater Phoenix area. Gilat Ben-Dor has been selected to exhibit her gold-leafed painting, "The Tasters," as an ode to her time as a certified wine sommelier and the former owner of a wine academy in the area. She says, "Wine remains close to my heart, and I have taken it from palate to palette with my current wine-related paintings. I'm delighted to be exhibiting The Tasters with GPEC, as this artwork has layers of meaning to me."
