Galit Eilat Named Fourth Keith Haring Fellow in Art and Activism
Galit Eilat has been awarded the prestigious Keith Haring Fellowship in Art and Activism, making her its fourth recipient. This fellowship, valued at $80,000 (£60,000) annually, is funded by a $400,000 grant from the Keith Haring Foundation over a five-year period. Its purpose is to support artists, researchers, and activists at Bard College's Center for Curatorial Studies (CCS Bard) and the Human Rights Project, focusing on the role of art in sociopolitical contexts. Eilat founded the Israeli Center for Digital Art in Holon, leading it from 2001 to 2010 to foster collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian artists.
