Jerusalem's Creative Scene: Urban Renewal Through Art and Community
A recent report showcases the vibrant creative landscape of Jerusalem, emphasizing both municipal efforts and community-driven initiatives that are reshaping public areas. Murals promoting tram usage adorn Jaffa Street, alongside actual trams. The city’s 'urban voids' have been revitalized through community involvement, including shrub planting and stage construction. Scheduled for December 2019, the third edition of ArtBnB Jerusalem aims to inspire artists to connect with street culture. The Muslala Arts Collective, located on Level E of the Clal Center, offers urban agriculture workshops and educational programs. Beita, established in 2014 at 155 Jaffa Street, serves as an ArtBnB center. The historic Hamiffal building hosts various events, while Hansen House, reopened in 2013, is the venue for Jerusalem Design Week. Upcoming highlights include Manofim 2019 and Jerusalem Design Week.
