ZUMU
Zumu is founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, should have access to high-quality arts and culture. The organization works to counteract the concentration of Israel’s arts offerings in the country’s geographical and commercial centre, working with peripheral cities and communities to realize a robust and vibrant presence for the arts. With the help of local municipalities and residents, Zumu sets up a new contemporary art museum in a different city every few months.
The museums are set in unused public spaces and exhibit specially commissioned works from established and emerging artists, and offer free entry as well as workshops and cultural events for locals of all ages. When Zumu moves on to its next location, it maintains an ongoing relationship with the community, supporting them in their effort to cultivate a long-term commitment to the arts in their city.
