Jerusalem Biennale 2026

September 24 – November 12, 2026

Multiple venues

Founded in 2013 by Ram (Rami) Ozeri, The Jerusalem Biennale is dedicated to exploring the places where contemporary art meets the Jewish and Israeli experience.

It is a grand stage for contemporary artists who reference Jewish and Israeli thought, spirit, tradition, or experience in their work to exhibit their work in Jerusalem.

We are committed to showcasing thought-provoking and soul-inspiring exhibitions and events, and invite you to explore the art and ideas that speak to exactly now.
