Founding Partners of the Umm El-Fahem Museum of Art

An Evening for Partners and Supporters | November 12, 2026 | 7:00–8:30 PM | Tel Aviv Museum of Art | Asia Hall The international art world is turning its attention to contemporary Palestinian art, yet it often lacks the in-depth context, historical research, and reliable documentation needed to fully understand it. The Umm El-Fahem Museum of Art is not merely an exhibition space; it is the professional authority that defines this canon. Through our “Knowledge Center,” we carry out the in-depth research that distinguishes an individual work of art from a cultural asset of historical significance. Artists who have grown with us—from Sharif Waked to Fatma Shanan—have reached major international institutions such as MoMA and the Guggenheim thanks to the research and curatorial foundation we have provided. We invite you to join our circle of professional partners. This is an invitation to become part of our “research inner circle”: to gain exclusive access to our research processes, be among the first to discover archival findings and upcoming exhibitions, and take part in the discourse shaping the next generation of local art. Joining this circle is a statement of your position as a thought leader and a partner in the most important curatorial work being undertaken in the region today. We are at a defining moment: the establishment of the first Arab art museum in Israel. This marks the transition from a “gallery” to a national institution, setting a new standard for excellence and dialogue. Our museum is the only place where genuine and unapologetic equality is put into practice: providing a central platform for 70% Palestinian art alongside local and international art, together creating a new cultural language. We invite you not simply to “support” us, but to become partners in this journey. To be among those whose names will be inscribed as founders of the institution, to enjoy intimate access to the creative process, and to closely accompany the artists and curators shaping the cultural landscape in Israel. This is an opportunity to take part in a cultural legacy that will resonate for many years to come.
