The Co-Tarbut Association (formerly the Beshekel Festival Association) is committed to establishing infrastructure for the advancement and enrichment of culture and heritage in the social and geographical peripheries of Israel. We recognize the pivotal role culture plays in driving critical national development. Our organization hosts cultural events in various neighborhoods and development towns, spearheads the creation and execution of sustainable art and culture initiatives that cater to diverse audiences, including new immigrants, the elderly, and women. We also work towards fostering unity among cultural institutions in the Negev and the Galilee, while actively facilitating collaborative platforms for these institutions.
