The gallery’s maiden exhibition was titled “From Tehran to Tel-Aviv: Fragmented Reflections”. This exhibition featured photographs by Iranian artists alongside Israeli interpretations thereof. The Iranian photographers were asked to capture images of people, moments or places that provided a glimpse into their world; Israelis then produced artistic interpretations of these pictures that were displayed alongside the original photographs.{{cite web|last1=Dvir|first1=Bar|title=From Tehran To Tel Aviv: Fragmented Reflections | url=http://www.mouse.co.il/CM.art_item,418,208,30848,.aspx | website=mouse.co.il|publisher=Mouse Magazine|accessdate=18 January 2016}} Subsequent exhibitions include “Sticks and Stones”, featuring the gouache paintings of Daphna Alon,{{cite web|last1=Barry|first1=David|title=Building with sticks and stones|url=http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Culture/Building-with-sticks-and-stones-403445|website=Jpost|date=18 May 2015 |accessdate=18 January 2016}} and “Live Writing”, presenting the observational paintings of Larissa Miller.{{cite web|title=Larisa Miller: Live Writing|url=http://www.i24news.tv/en/tv/replay/culture|website=i24 News|accessdate=18 January 2016}} In May 2016, it presented the exhibition "From Holocaust to Revival and Creation", by Heddy Kun. {{cite web|title=Exhibitions|url=http://www.capricegallery.com/#!exhibitions/c199t|website=Caprice Gallery|accessdate=25 May 2016}}{{cite web|last1=Levi|first1=Sarah|title=From chaos to creation|url=http://www.jpost.com/Metro/From-chaos-to-creation-455224|website=The Jerusalem Post|date=27 May 2016 |accessdate=30 May 2016}}
