B.Y5 Gallery invites artists and curators to submit proposals for solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, “B.Y5 The Library” projects, and artistic actions to take place in the gallery space during 2026-27.
About the Gallery
Established in 2017, B.Y5 Gallery serves as a platform and a home for creators in the fields of art and design. The gallery is affiliated with the “Association of Creative Artists in Israel,” which unites artists from various material-based disciplines. We strive to promote and expand the dialogue between craft, art, and design. The gallery hosts solo and group exhibitions featuring both association members and guest artists.
B.Y5 is a space for display, discussion, and research, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue with other cultural and social fields.
B.Y5 The Library
“The Library” is an intimate space designed for small, focused exhibitions. Its purpose is to allow artists to reveal a compact body of work or experimental pieces that serve as a “satellite” to their primary creative practice.
