Established in 1976, the Michael Hittleman Gallery exhibits a broad range of Israeli fine art ranging from the early pioneers to the leading avant-garde artists. As part of an educational mission the gallery maintains a library of books, catalogues, articles and auction records of Israeli art. The gallery has done shows of Israeli art at temples, synagogues, Jewish Centers, Jewish Museums and for Israeli and Jewish organizations as a way of raising consciousness about Israeli art and as a fundraising activity. The gallery and its collectors have lent works for numerous museum exhibitions and many private collections of Israeli art. Featured artists are Yaacov Agam, Arie Aroch, Mordechai Ardon, Samuel Bak, and Edward Ben Avram.
