Israel Museums & Arts, Canada (IMAAC) ) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching, promoting, and celebrating Israeli arts and culture by raising awareness and financial support for the Israel Museum – the country’s leading cultural institution – and grassroots arts organizations that connect people across all strata of society to their Jewish identity.
WHAT WE DO
IMAAC's primary focus is to provide free admission to the Israel Museum for Israeli children of all religions and backgrounds. There, the children experience the joy of art and culture through the Museum's collections and exhibitions - and explore their artistic creativity through a myriad of activities and programs in the Museum's Youth Wing.
We are also committed to broadening our focus to support Israeli grassroots arts organizations that enrich, promote, and celebrate arts and culture.
The Israel MuseumMobile
The MuseumMobile is a flagship initiative of the Israel Museum, created to reach out beyond the Museum to communities across Israel. Since October 7, Museum staff have been visiting displaced residents across the country to provide workshops centered on creativity and resilience, inspired by the Museum’s treasures, which symbolize the enduring strength of the human spirit.
The MuseumMobile enables its participants to address their personal and emotional needs through self-expression, providing them with the means to visually articulate hardship and trauma, transcending linguistic and verbal barriers.
Israeli Grassroots Organisations
Ashdod Art Museum has been operating for 20 years, presenting temporary exhibitions of Israeli art. The museum explores issues of local identity concerning the unique nature of Ashdod – a multicultural city just 40km from the Gaza border. It has an extensive educational department that offers guided exhibition tours, art workshops and courses, as well as professional art studies, including a special matriculation program for high school students.
MUZA, the Education Wing of the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art is a dynamic center for art and culture, offering a diverse range of activities, enrichment programs, exhibitions, and workshops across various fields, including art, photography, and video art. The economic repercussions of the current crisis have significantly impacted children and youth with special needs, leading MUZA to expand its programs. Guided by their dedicated staff, participants are encouraged to engage with the exhibition themes, all while enhancing their imagination, creativity, and motor skills in a supportive and inclusive setting.
Nano, The Fetter Museum of Nanoscience & Art, Bar Ilan University offers a dynamic platform for fostering, mentoring, and showcasing collaborations between artists and scientists from diverse cultures and backgrounds. At its core, Nano celebrates the power of art as a catalyst for exploration and discovery, seamlessly integrating it into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. The Museum blends creativity with innovation through art-driven programs, engaging visitors in immersive experiences that inspire critical thinking, interdisciplinary dialogue, and hands-on learning.
