International (5)
- Benyamini Center Abroad
- International Residency Programs
The international activities at the Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center are a two way operation – outward and inward – in an effort to establish Israeli ceramic art as part of the international clay community and to contribute to its professional dialogue with the world. In order to initiate global ties and launch international connections, we reach out to the global community by participating in international projects, conferences and symposia as a path of integration in relevant professional conversations worldwide. Conversely, in order to bring the world to us in a variety of professional programs, we host international residencies and promote, produce and lead international conferences and symposia. These are productive and challenging platforms for sharing thoughts and ideas in relevant social, professional and political issues.
Benyamini Center (6)
The Issachar and Yehudit Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center promotes ceramic art and design in a vibrant atmosphere of creativity for professional artists as well as the general public. Through the on-going activities we wish to create a dialogue between the various aspects of ceramics and extend its scope in the broad spectrum of material culture.

The Benyamini center is located in Kiryat Hamelacha in south Tel Aviv in an area that has become the hub of contemporary art in the city with many galleries and artist studios in the area. It is a public non-profit organization founded in 2001.
