Hi there!

ArtBnB is a unique residential festival inviting 20 artists from around the world to live and create art in one of three cultural centers in the heart of Jerusalem – HaMiffal, Beita, and the Muslala Terrace in the Clal Building. They will be joined by 21 Israeli artists, who will be working alongside them, accompanying and collaborating with them.

The work process of the artists, carried out both inside and in the public space around the centers, will be open to public view. The festival also offers a program that includes master classes, workshops, and interactive events. Some of the cultural centers will allocate space for accommodation as well as work infrastructures, and thus will become temporary guest homes for the artists from abroad.
The selected artists work in a variety of media: painting, sculpture, installation, cinema, sound, theatre, performance, photography, architecture, conceptual art, land art, interventions in the public space, and so on. The artists were chosen for the project by an artistic committee that included the directors of the host cultural centers, and the project managers.

About the Host Venues HaMiffal A 140-year-old estate lay abandoned and neglected, until a group of artists took over the building and turned it into a cultural center. Over the past two years, HaMiffal has been open and has hosted a variety of activities. The managing collective has some 50 member artists.
Muslala A complex covering some 300 square meters on the fourth floor of the Clal Building commercial center, offering an experience of nature in the city, agriculture on the roof, creative workshops, and a meeting place for communities – all in one place.
Beita A focal point for art, society, and city, Beita is a municipal art center, operated by Jerusalem Municipality’s Department of Visual Arts, and housed in the historic Seidof building on Jaffa Road. The center provides a home for promoting and hosting artistic ventures, an active gallery for contemporary art, and a center for artistic tourism in Jerusalem. __________________________________________________________________________
