An exhibition of paintings and sketches by Aleksandras Ganelinas opened at the Lithuanian Jewish Community in Vilnius as part of the Fifth World Litvak Congress. Ganelinas was graduated from the Moscow Art School, then from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. He started an art gallery in Jaffa called Mannsohn House Gallery. He has participated in a number of group exhibitions in Israel, Lithuania, Poland, India, Great Britain, America, Russia, Germany and elsewhere. His works are held by private collections and museums around the world.

He says he fell in love with Lithuania as a student when he was exposed to works by M. K. Čiurlionis and ever since has been an active participant in different plein air workshops, symposia and exhibits held in Lithuania.

The exhibit is on the third floor of the Lithuanian Jewish Community at Pylimo street no. 4 in Vilnius.
