Today, I would like to present to you the respected group of Israeli artists I was recently introduced to, whose works are published and sold via one website, named “Israeli Art.” In this one website, you can find a variety of Israeli and Jewish creations, made by tenths of Israeli artists. Silver candlesticks with beautiful carvings, Jewelry, Menorahs, Hannukah Lamps, designed Home Blessings, Judaica, painting and more. You name it- they got it.
This united group of artists was formed about a year ago, when the Jewish Federation decided to invite a group of dozen Israeli artists for a visit at five Jewish Communities in the States, and to present to them with their creations, as part of the Israeli Independence Day celebrations. During the visit, the members of those Jewish communities were exposed to many kinds of Jewish creation they have yet to see, and bought every single item that was on sale, so that none of the artists brought a single piece back home.
All of those artists were very talented, but had something else in common: lack of PR experience. That's why they decided to gather under one web-roof, and created a shared website, which helps them sell their art and make a living. With time, more and more artists joined this group, and managed to focus on their creation, and not put as much effort in sales attempts as before, thanks to the website, which keeps attracting more and more pleased customers.
While browsing “Israeli Art,” you can find creations made by Israeli artists of all kinds, ages and opinions. For example, Mickey paints parts of Jerusalem on a genuine Jerusalem Stone; Noa makes Jewelry from Turquoise stone; Inbar is a photographer which serves in a combat unit in the IDF, and captures very unique pictures of Israel; Yaffa makes designed “home blessings” in several languages; Sigal makes hand-made candlesticks, Eran carves Jerusalem on silver objects, and this is just a small taste of the variety of artists and creations that present their work on “Israeli Art.”
