AIDA’s mission is to foster the development of contemporary decorative artists from Israel by connecting them to an international audience of galleries, institutions and collectors.

Since the organization’s founding in 2003, AIDA has helped careers of a generation of artists from Israel. Underlying all of AIDA’s activities is the goal of promoting a positive face of contemporary Israel not often seen.

AIDA’s programs include: connecting artists with galleries; exhibiting works at international art fairs and significant craft fairs; providing scholarships, residencies and summer teaching positions at prominent craft schools; supporting participation in conferences like NCECA and the GAS conference and finding venues for museum shows. These programs allow artists from Israel the opportunity to exchange ideas, techniques, and approaches to their work with a broad and diverse audience.
