Silent Ceramic and Glass Auction | 2022

AIDA Invitational  | Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center

Curators: Aviva Ben Sira, Ravit Lazer

The AIDA silent auction 2022 will present a broad range of ceramic and glass made by 30 leading Israeli artists and designers who have worked with AIDA over the years.

The AIDA foundation was established in 2003 in the USA by Doug and Dale Anderson and Andy and Charles Bronfman to promote and support Israeli craft artists working in various media, by introducing them to the American public, galleries, and collectors.  The foundation has been continuously active to achieve these goals under the director in Israel, Aviva Ben Sira.

The participants in this project received a grant for a new work made for the auction and the works will be available for purchase at the Benyamini Center and on the website. The proceeds from the auction will be used to promote young ceramic artists.  

The auction will begin on Sunday 30/10/22 at 19:30 and will end on Saturday 5/11/22 at 14:00.
