INTRODUCTION

As one of the prominent art institutions in Israel, CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo offers special educational programs for adults and children of all ages. Our educational programs for children come in many forms, and include a bimonthly children’s workshop, and special events. In 2015, recognizing the need for a deeper engagement with our diverse audiences, the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo allocated the neighboring bomb shelter to the Center to be turned into an educational hub. Our expanded educational programs cater to schools, as well as diverse community groups such as teenagers, senior citizens, asylum seekers, and other underserved adults and children. Our hub is a vibrant place of inspiration, provocation, and reflection. Its educational programs for adults and children foster observational and analytical skills, dialogue, and creativity while developing digital fluency. With a special emphasis on our exhibitions, the programs focus on deepening the understanding of contemporary culture, encouraging a passion for creativity and knowledge, and providing unique and enriching tools for self-expression. For many of the participants and attendees, this is the first encounter with contemporary art exhibitions and such event is pivotal in the development of a visual language that will follow them in their future engagement with the creative fields and in life in general.

OUR PROGRAMS

The Rywkind Ben Zour Grant for Education and Community constitutes a fundamental component of CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo’s operations, allowing the realization of ambitious exhibitions and public programs. Initiated in 2023 by Iris Rywkind Ben Zour and Eran Ben Zour, long-time patrons of the Center, the grant consists of a 100,000 ₪ yearly donation and is directed to the annual exhibition program and its related public programs, which includes events and activities such as mentoring workshops, lectures, meetings, discussions, roundtables and panels. Focused on projects that have a “ripple effect” within the field of education – projects with a high level of participation and engagement – the grant aims at benefiting the artist(s) creating the project, the artistic community – specifically art school students and graduates – as well as society at large. Usually directed to one exhibition conceived by an Israeli artist and one by a non-Israeli artist, the granted projects are selected by the patrons from the annual exhibition program.

GRANT RECIPIANTS

ETTI ABERGEL: MEMOIR

2023

The practice of Etti Abergel (*1960, Tivon, where she lives and works) sets up a dynamic relationship between installation and sculpture. Her works are not only conceived for the site but are largely made on site, whereby the exhibition space becomes a lived-in, breathing environment.


Etti Abergel is the first recipient of The Rywkind Ben Zour Grant for Education and Community
