The School of Multidisciplinary Art Arrives in Tel Aviv

Shenkar’s School of Multidisciplinary Art is celebrating its historic move to its new home – Beit Mars in the Florentin neighborhood of Tel Aviv after years of operating in the nostalgic building of the ‘Elite’ chocolate factory in Ramat Gan. At the festive launch event, attended by Shenkar and industry seniors, participants included Shenkar’s Board of Trustees Chairwoman Orit Efrati, Shenkar President Prof. Sheizaf Rafaeli, Board of Directors Chairman Yoav Horowitz, Shenkar CEO Yoni Even Tov, and Tel Aviv Deputy Mayor Asaf Zamir, who congratulated Shenkar’s management and wished them success in their new location. During the evening, Canada Israel owners, Mr. Assi Tuchmair and Mr. Barak Rosen, presented the key to Beit Mars to Shenkar’s management and announced ten annual scholarships to students for the next five years. The School of Multidisciplinary Art at Shenkar is also renewing its leadership – Prof. Nira Pereg was appointed as head of the School of Art, and Prof. Gal Weinstein was appointed as head of the Master’s degree program, which opened for the first time this year.

The launch event was attended by prominent figures from the art and business world, including leading gallerists such as Serge Tiroche, senior business people like Ofer and Ravit Nimrodi, Etti and Gabi Rotter, and leading cultural and art figures. During the evening, many works were sold to the general public, marking the beginning of a new and promising era for Shenkar’s School of Art in its new home in the heart of Tel Aviv.
