The Bezalel Residency Program is the result of a partnership between the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation and Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem.

​

Each year, Outstanding students from Bezalel Academy’s graduate programs are selected to take part in this innovative program, making an impact on hundreds of schoolchildren.

The Resident receives a classroom within their school, which they transform into an artist studio and together with the children they create authentic art.

​

As the Bezalel Residents guide and teach the elementary school children, they themselves undergo a meaningful experience which advances their personal and professional development. The year culminates in an End of Year Exhibition, where a selection of the best projects created by the Residents and children are displayed at the Edmond de Rothschild Center in Tel Aviv.
