The 2019 Jewish Street Art Festival took place as part of the 2019 Jerusalem Biennale in October of that year. We partnered with First Station (Tachana Rishona), the Artists’ Colony (Hutzot Hayotzer), and the Schechter Institute in the heart of Jerusalem to create site-specific pieces at all three locations!
The international team of artists painted 18 murals in three locations around Jerusalem. There are now 10 new pieces around the First Station, 7 more at the Artists’ Colony, and a huge collaborative piece at Schechter. We hope you got a chance to watch as the art was painted in October and November, and joined us for wine and dancing at our reception. See photos and videos in the photos section. Here’s where we were:
- October 13, 15, 16, 17, November 4, 5, 6: Painting at the First Station
- October 17, 4:30pm: “Not in Heaven” family-friendly Sukkot festival at Kol HaOt Gallery in Hutzot Hayotzer Artists’ Colony
