Alfred Cooperative Institute For Art & Culture

>> Alfred Cooperative Institute for Art & Culture << Alfred - A Cooperative Institute for Art & Culture is an alternative art space - home to an active and vibrant artist community aimed at introducing contemporary Israeli art and its young creators to art lovers in the local community. The Alfred Institute is the successor of Alfred Gallery, a pioneer in the sphere of cooperative artistic ventures, whose work became a model for numerous cooperative art galleries in Israel. After 8 years of successful work in south Tel-Aviv, Alfred Institute was established in 2014, as a space devoted entirely to promoting and supporting young Israeli art. This year we are celebrating our 13th anniversary. Since 2005 we have produced over 200 exhibitions, provided the opportunity for hundreds of young artists to show their works, and hosted thousands of visitors and art lovers at our exhibitions. >> About the Cooperative << Alfred is a Non-Profit Organization whose purpose is to promote young artists and give them support and exposure. For the past decade Alfred Gallery and Alfred Institute work side by side as a Non-Profit Organization charging zero commission on sales, and thus transferring 100% of the revenue directly to the artists. Alfred Members consist of 12 prominent Israeli artists and curators, whom for the past 12 years have devoted their time, effort, skills and talent to promote young Israeli art, through Alfred Institute. The group functions as a cooperative of artists in which all decision-making is shared. Alfred Members are bound by financial obligations, requiring all members to pay a monthly membership fee, in addition to contributing 10 weekly hours of volunteer work at the institute.
