Kenafayim Arts Center

| Arts/Culture
Kenafayim - Because Art has No Boundaries is an non-profit association founded in 2004 with the goal of establishing a unique arts center, the first if its kind in Israel, that will serve as a paying workplace for artists with special needs. The association was founded by Rina Padua and Dalit Sharon, artists with extensive and rich experience in their fields, and in working with people with special needs. The association’s Chairperson is Mr. Yossef Habas. We believe that a person facing emotional problems or an artist with special needs, has the right, just like any other person, to realize his/her talents and to work in a challenging, satisfying and suitable environment. Kenafayim Center includes a theatre and dance studio, a theatre hall, rehearsal rooms with musical equipment, studio spaces for painting and sculpture, and an active art gallery for people with special needs.
