Responding to the delayed return of the culture and leisure sector to activity: Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality is launching a winter season of concerts and initiatives featuring hundreds of events every week – the vast majority free of charge – in compliance with Health Ministry guidelines.
Solo performances in parks | Songs and stories on boulevards | Rooftop and garden performances | "Aquarium" shows in the lobby of Enav Cultural Center | Digital art lectures and workshops | Art festivals in the public sphere and online | Poetry festival on bus stops | Cultural activities for seniors | Cultural events for disabled residents |
At the same time, the municipality is continuing to advance solutions in the public sphere: free city tours, placing hundreds of chairs and benches in outdoor locations, offering lifeguard towers for romantic dates, loaning fishing rods free of charge, beach yoga classes and gyms on wheels.
November 18, 2020 - Faced with the shutdown of the art and culture sector due to COVID-19, Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality is launching a season of performances and initiatives that will include hundreds of events every week across the city.
The municipality intends to continue organizing cultural events throughout the winter months, forecasting that the arts sector – including major performance venues, museums and theaters – will remain shut beyond the government's initial reopening plan (December 2020).
Meanwhile, the municipality is continuing its efforts to reopen cultural venues in a creative manner. Last week, Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai proposed a plan for the reopening of open-air venues to the health and culture ministers, including performances in stadiums and amphitheaters until the city's traditional venues reopen their doors.
Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo: "Culture has been the lifeblood of the first Hebrew city since its establishment, and also provides a livelihood for 150,000 citizens who have been left behind since the outbreak of COVID-19. Therefore, we will hold hundreds of events every week to provide a livelihood for thousands of people, medicine for the souls of tens of thousands of residents, and hope for an entire sector that feels abandoned and neglected."
