2nd AIDA Invitational at Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center

Last year, in response to this pandemic-related setback, we created the “AIDA INVITATIONAL”. We awarded grants to 28 ceramists to create a work of art and donate it to Benyamini for an exhibition and silent auction. The Invitational was a great success and we decided to partner with Benyamini again. This time, we chose 25 ceramists and 5 artists who work in glass.

Our Partnership with Watershed - featuring ceramicist Roy Maayan

Roy Maayan, a ceramicist from Israel, was awarded a scholarship from AIDA this year to fund his summer residency at Watershed. Next year, they plan to send an artist from the US to Benyamini Ceramics Center in Tel Aviv.

When Spirit Meets Fire

Boris Shpeizman, an AIDA glass artist, is consumed by the war in Ukraine as he was part of the "refusniks" movement when he lived in the USSR. As he says, “current events are bringing back well forgotten memories of an evil state”.

He is planning a small exhibition at Bezalel on a theme "There Are no Distant Wars".

Below is a remarkable video of a work he prepared for the show, When Spirit Meets Fire: A Tribute to Ukraine Defenders.

Dafna Kaffeman - A studio visit

At a time when conferences and exhibitions are being cancelled due to Coronavirus, we are delighted when organizations provide access to art in unique and 'virtual' ways. The Glass Art Society is one such organization that has produced a fantastic behind-the-scenes video about glass artist Dafna Kaffeman and her flame work technique.

UPDATE: Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have canceled our international programming for the balance of this year.

But in an effort to continue to support our artists, our Board has decided to create a Grant Program with $100,000 available to help people in "our community" in Israel (grants of $5,000 - $10,000 per person). There is great need, and we are the only people who have enough granular understanding to make such grants. We will be partnering with the Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center to be sure funds get out quickly.

We are primarily focused on artists working in clay, glass, fiber, and jewelry — the community is small and proud. Most don’t want our money. Some absolutely need our money. We have let them know that we are here to help.

We will keep you posted as to the grants we have made by e-mail.

The time is now and we’re moving forward.
