Bi-annual, The Jerusalem Biennale is a non-profit dedicated to exploring the places in which contemporary art and the Jewish world of content meet. It is a stage for professional artists, who create today and refer in their work to Jewish thought, spirit, tradition or experience, to exhibit their work in Jerusalem. 

“The Jerusalem Biennale does not seek to answer the question of whether there is such a thing as contemporary Jewish art or what constitutes contemporary Jewish art; it endeavors to create a space where the discussion can take place and develop.” 
— Ram Ozeri, Director and Founder of Jerusalem Biennale

The central mission of the Jerusalem Biennale is to facilitate the manifestation of various creative forces in Jerusalem, within the framework of Contemporary Jewish Art. The Biennale strives to exhibit the most updated, challenging, creative and varied selection of exhibitions and events under this framework.
The Biennale explores the idea of expanding the concept of Jewish Art beyond the field of Judaica  to mediums such as photography, video art, installation and performance. We do not attempt to define Contemporary Jewish Art, but rather aim to discover and stimulate a multitude of creative responses.
