Launch of the Supporters 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 increasingly turning its attention to contemporary Palestinian art, yet it often lacks the deeper 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 a professional authority helping to define this canon. Through our Knowledge Center, we undertake the in-depth research and documentation that distinguishes an individual work of art from a cultural asset of lasting historical significance. Artists who have grown with us—from Sharif Waked to Fatma Shanan—have gone on to reach leading institutions such as MoMA and the Guggenheim, supported by the research and curatorial foundation we have provided. We invite you to join the Supporters of the Umm El-Fahem Museum of Art and take part in the conversation shaping the next generation of local art. We are at a defining moment: the establishment of Israel’s first Arab art museum. This transition from a gallery to a national institution sets a new standard for excellence and dialogue. Our museum is the only place where genuine and unapologetic equality is put into practice: a central platform devoted to 70% Palestinian art, alongside local and international art, together creating a new cultural language. We invite you to support us and become part of this journey -  Participation in the launch event also includes membership in the Museum’s Supporters—a community of people who choose to support our artistic, research, and cultural work. Membership starts at NIS 1500 and includes admission to the launch event for one or two people, as well as an annual admission pass to the Museum. You are welcome to add a donation in any amount of your choice.
