Shtetle Memories

 

 

 

In 2004 we founded a program to preserve and promote the unique arts of the Shtetle.  All works and designs come directly from our talented artists.  Shtetle Memories goes above and beyond, allowing our artists to explore contemporary designs and materials, while preserving the character and the culture.  You shall not find anything similar anywhere else.
