Giving Opportunities
Thank you for choosing to support the Friends of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. We appreciate your commitment to our cause and look forward to your continued assistance and interest in Israel’s premier institution for higher education in the arts, design and other disciplines. Your generosity will guarantee Bezalel’s growth and development now and into the future. Listed below are various giving opportunities:

Bezalel Art and Design Exhibition: $55,000 to fulfill an invitation by B'nai Brith, Paris, who has invited Bezalel to create an art and design exhibition representing the Academy and that the Academy will own and can use for other venues. This will be an exhibition with the capacity to travel to other cities. The new exhibition will coincide with the 60 year celebrations of the State of Israel. The exhibition will include works from our eight departments: fine art, photography, fashion & jewelry, industrial design, visual communications, architecture, screen based arts, ceramics & glass. The minimum space required for such an exhibition is 200 square metres. The cost of preparing the exhibition is 35,000 Euro ($55,000 today) which will cover transportation of the works and exhibition, insurance during transportation, erecting and dismantling the exhibition by a qualified team. The host country - in this case, France - will provide a suitable venue and to cover the exhibition cost. The exhibition has been designed by graduates of Bezalel’s ID department. Overheads for the design and building of the exhibition amount to $55,000 in addition we want to produce a small catalogue.

Bezalel Bi-Annual Journal: $20,000 to fund a Bezalel Journal that would be published 2x a year in Hebrew and English consisting of academic articles, interviews and other writings including newsworthy events; essays that would reveal the full spectrum of Bezalel.

Master of Industrial Design Scholarship (10): $25,000 to fund ten research scholarships for Master of Industrial Design students who are noted for their excellence.

Master of Design Research Center at Shiva Hospital: $25,000 to fund a research center at Shiva Hospital for Master of Design students to develop a pilot for a medical language - a medical icon - for enabling communication between doctors and patients who are displaced persons and who may not share mutual languages.
