The video art works are by students of all years of study in the visual communication, photography, cinema and animation departments. The exhibition will include 30 works in total, which have been joined together into a single 20-minute video.

The collaboration will be launched in Tel Aviv city's traditional "White Night" event on Thursday June 25 in which the TASE will open its doors at 20:00 to host a free-entry evening for the general public, which will be entirely devoted to culture, art and music. Alongside the exhibition, some of Tel Aviv's young musicians will perform, such as the Jane Bordeaux band and the "Supers" - a Thelma Yellin musical group consisting of ten 16-17 year-old teenagers.

Throughout July, the work will be displayed on the TASE's video wall once every hour during the trading day, for the benefit of the general public and visitors at the TASE's new building.

According to Idit Yaaron, Head of the Marketing and Communications Unit at TASE: "The collaboration with the Minshar School of Art is another tier in the series of actions taken by the TASE with the aim of bringing the general public closer to the financial worlds that touch on the lives of each and every one of us. The TASE is not just numbers and figures constantly moving on a digital screen, but also an entire world of endless innovation and creativity - groundbreaking enterprises by young and promising companies seeking to introduce their new "business creation" to the world. We are proud to provide the stage to showcase the future creative minds of Israel, both in the business world and in the art world, and invite the public to come and enjoy the creative artwork displayed in the project."
