The mission of the CCAI is to promote dialogue and exchange of ideas and techniques among Israeli and International artists and craftspeople. The CCAI is funded by membership dues (Current membership is between 250-300), and participation fees for its periodically sponsored workshops. The Association runs the BY5 Gallery which exhibits work by members of the CCAI. We are seeking donor assistance for our 2026 Neot HaKikar annual workshop with the specific goal of increasing participation of Arabic-speaking artists, designers and craftspeople. CCAI has long sought to increase Arabic-speaking membership, to encourage their increased participation in CCAI’s Gallery exhibitions, Calls to Entry, educational workshops, Annual Symposium, and Neot HaKikar Workshops.
