The Arts Task Force focuses on developing relationships between people through creative collaboration and experiences. Our programs encompass many creative mediums including, but not limited to; Theater/Performance Art, Fine art, Music, Dance, Art Therapy, Photography, Design, Architecture, Film, and Puppetry.
The Artist in Residency (AIR) Exchange Program happens each year by bringing U.S. artists to the Western Galilee and Israeli artists to the Central Area Consortium communities. The AIR program is an opportunity to make personal connection with people through your art; whether you are a photographer, conductor, musician, painter, etc.
The Performing Art Series is a program offered to our US communities as a way to connect local audiences with creative Israeli entertainment including dance, violin concerts, theater performances, and more.
We continue to offer artists in all communities exhibition opportunities and an ongoing chance to develop new initiatives within the Arts Task Force. If you have an idea that connects your community to the Western Galilee through Arts please contact Noa Epstein, the arts coordinator at : noaep@jafi.org
