"How does a group of art-loving women manage to change the philanthropic map in the art field in Israel?"
The ART NOW Foundation is a unique model for supporting contemporary Israeli art.
As a result of collaborative work between a community of donors committed to professional philanthropic management of the Keshet Foundation.
Behind the foundation's activities are Sharon Brands and Ward Ilani, who have been active in public art for about two decades.
After 16 years of significant philanthropic activity in the periphery, including 11 years for the Friends Association at the School of Art at Sapir College and 4 years managing the Foundation for Art in which they supported 45 exhibitions in the periphery, the two decided to embark on a new path together with their loyal group of supporters, thanks to whom all this is possible.
Today, the ART NOW Foundation unites about 70 women in a unique circle of giving, which supports the promotion of quality art in the periphery and in the center, provides significant grants to artists and art institutions, supports unique projects, and creates equal opportunities in the Israeli art field. "Our support for art in the periphery remains at the heart of our work, but at the same time, at this time the need for assistance is found in every place of artistic activity, and therefore the foundation will support selected and unique art projects throughout the country, with the value of quality and excellence at the forefront of our minds."
This is a living, vibrant, and influential community!
Donors enjoy exclusive art tours, inspiring encounters, and exposure to the world of contemporary art."
