Explore Israel with style!

Are you creative? Do you like dance, fashion, and photography? Well… we’ve got you covered! Art is a way of self- expression. When making a piece of art, the artist embeds themselves within it their own world. This world connects to their experience, thoughts, values and messages that they want to convey to the world.

The He(ART) of Israel is a fascinating 4-day journey designed to expose you to the world of Israeli arts. You’ll experience Israel through in cool workshops from dance, photography, painting, music, and theater.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

An Instagram and Photography workshop
Wine tasting + painting session
