Oman, which in Hebrew means “artist”, is an art school for religious women which offers courses in general art, metal working, jewelry making, photography, ceramics, culinary arts, and art education. At the end of each academic year, students display their work at the school’s campus in Jerusalem.

“I think the exhibit is absolutely stunning,” Adam Cohen said, who came to see his wife’s work. “I’m very impressed the work here was produced by art students.”

Art displays were stretched over numerous halls at the exhibition, accompanied by delicious refreshments provided by students of culinary arts at the school.

Dorit Leibowtiz, an Oman administrator, explained the school's focus. “Our program provides a unique framework for religious women to study art,” she said. “We try to concentrate not only on art for art’s sake but also on the practical side of working in an art-related field.”

Students at Oman generally study three half-days a week over the course of two years. “The format allows us to work and take care of our families besides studying art,” Oman student Adina Lev-Tzion said.

The exhibit remains open until July 23, Sunday through Thursday, from 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. and again from 5:00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. Oman is located at 5 Zichron Yaakov Street, in the Romema neighborhood of Jerusalem.
