"Curating a Better World" at the Workmen's Gallery celebrates 10 years of unique mission with Benefit Show from July 9 to August 25, 2006. Ten years ago The Workmen's Circle of Southern California created A Shenere Velt Gallery (Yiddish for "a more beautiful world") as a venue where the work of noncommercial Jewish and non-Jewish artists, many of them expressing
the countercultural ideas our society requires for critical thinking, would be welcome. Since 1996 the gallery has mounted over sixty exhibitions, including literally hundreds of artists, many of them women and so-called "minority" artists often bypassed in commercial galleries.
