The festival, which every autumn, opens the art season in Jerusalem, will be held for three days and nights presenting a rich and varied artistic program connected symbiotically to the current existential situation.

An opening event - a festive premiere - a night show at the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem Art Conference, entitled "The Moment of Truth".
Artist Appointments - four one-on-one meetings with Jerusalem artists located in their studios or exhibition spaces.

Festival directors and curators, Lee He Shulov and Rinat Edelstein have stated: "We are happy, tired, excited and proud to present you the Manofim Festival in the Coronavirus edition for 2020. Despite the extreme political and security situations prevailing throughout the city, we see the continued existence of the festival as a necessity - because even if the following sentence sounds like a battered cliché: in our view, culture is an essential part of the fabric of life. During this period. Any ticket purchased for any of the events will help support the artists participating in the festival who have been experiencing very difficult days over the past six months and will help to sustain the activities of the independent Manofim festival to ensure it's continuation in the years to come."
TICKETS: Purchase directly on the Festival's English and Hebrew website.
Best,
Talma
