The following exhibition was dedicated to celebrated Israeli painter and sculptor Menashe Kadishman, showing prints, sculptures and paintings, some exhibited for the first time. The year ended with an international exhibition of paper art, In Between, that travelled from the Wilfrid Israel Museum in Kibbutz Hazorea that organised it. As part of this exhibition the Negev Museum included a homage to Joyce Schmidt, who founded in Be'er Sheva the first paper mill and initiated the paper making art in Israel.[6] During this exhibition the education programs of the museum expanded to include regular creative workshops offered to children in addition to guided tours for the general public.
