ASKILA GALLERY OLD JAFFA
Askila Gallery is a contemporary art space operating in Old Jaffa, combining experiential and educational activities around contemporary Jewish-Israeli art. The gallery opened in the summer of 2022, and has operated since then as a unique venture that seeks to establish a living connection between artistic creation, spiritual depth, and contemporary cultural discourse.

ASKILA'S EXHIBITIONS
ASKILA GALLERY organizes about 50 contemporary art exhibitions each year and participates in about 20 fairs alongside contemporary art galleries from around the world. To do so, it relies on a dynamic team of 160 staff members, led by three partners and 15 directors.
In 2018 we organized 44 different contemporary art exhibitions that drew 277,000 visitors worldwide and we participated in 21 fairs.
Over the past 30 years, the gallery has exhibited and supported a great number of modern and contemporary art projects, both within the gallery and beyond, and it has been involved in many collaborations and unique productions. Keen on pursuing a broad, cross-disciplinary approach, the gallery programmes, besides contemporary art exhibitions, conferences and workshops for children as well as concerts, tours and performances.
The gallery’s contemporary art exhibitions daily welcome scores of visitors, who are offered explanatory booklets, videos and podcasts to extend their visit. ‘The gallery operates as a free art centre. It is not a space where we only welcome collectors’,
From New York to Shanghai via Paris, Seoul, Tokyo, Los Angeles and Hong Kong, the gallery organizes exhibitions of the artists it represents, but also one-off events and projects.
