On a personal note:
I am a volunteer member of the Art Committee of the "Keshet Eilon" Association for outstanding violin musicians at the Keshet Eilon Master Course - Music Center. Over the past 12 years, I have established an artist residency program that encourages collaborations between visual artists and musicians. More than 30 artists were hosted till today. In addition, 13 solo exhibitions have been presented by artists inspired by the music, the musicians, and the hospitality at Keshet Elon. Since 2014, I work at the 'Katedra - Cultural Center as an art program Director and editor. In this role,
I plan all art tours that include visits to exhibitions in museums, galleries, alternative spaces, and artists' studios. Additionally, I edit a series of lectures accompanied by documentaries on cinema, poetry, architecture, literature, and the visual arts, in collaboration with the EPOS Film Festival.
