Academy Of Art And Design Turns Israel Into Giant Art Gallery

Some 1600 students from all eight of Bezalel’s art and design departments will contribute one piece of artwork to the largest outdoor exhibition ever in Israel. Each piece of art is being reproduced on billboards and they will be distributed and displayed across the country.

An online gallery on the Bezalel website will allow people to view all projects in their locations across Israel and will show the location of each project (city and street).

The exhibition is being used as a way of raising awareness of the academy’s work, driving registration for new students, and inviting interested candidates to come to the academy’s open days on 22nd February and 8th March. The project has been devised in cooperation will the advertising firm, Shalmor-Avnon-Amichay Y&R.

Professor Arnon Zuckerman, president of Bezalel Academy said: “All of us at Bezalel are excited to be part of this bold project.

We are hugely proud of the wonderful work that our students produce.
