Asylum Arts and New Spirit organized the Jerusalem Artist Retreat, which aimed to create a network for community development and strengthen the local cultural ecosystem. The retreat, held at Kibbutz Ein Herod, brought together 35 invited multi-disciplinary emerging artists based in Jerusalem for a 3-day intensive training, bringing a diverse group that included religious and secular artists from East and West Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Artist Retreat empowered artists to explore how they can work in innovative ways to build an integrated artist community and facilitate a nuanced conversation about Jerusalem’s unique culture and identity.
