Binyamin Gallery participates in the Israeli contemporary art scene, hosting exhibitions that feature guest artists as well as the in-house artists and curated by invited curators.

These exhibitions, along with their related multidisciplinary events, aim to create an independent platform for art and culture, free from commercial considerations. The gallery is a registered nonprofit organization, with Dr. Elad Yaron as its lead curator.

Binyamin Gallery opened on May 14, 2011, with the exhibition “Wild Beasts” featuring works by the gallery’s founding artists and curated by Gilad Melzer.

In its vision, Binyamin Gallery aspires to be a transformative force in the contemporary art scene. Its mission is to foster a wide-ranging and thought-provoking dialogue among gallery members, active artists, curators, and theorists—spanning both established figures and emerging voices. Curators are invited to propose group exhibitions, and the most compelling ideas are selected for further development. These curators have full autonomy to develop their concepts and invite guest artists, while gallery members rotate roles to support the successful production of each exhibition.

The gallery holds invited exhibitions in two formats: duo exhibitions, which allow focused dialogue between two artists, and group exhibitions that bring multiple voices into conversation. The gallery holds, in addition, a few solo exhibitions each year for gallery members.

Visitor Information:

Benjamin Gallery is located at the heart of the Kiryat Hamelacha quarter, on the third floor of Shvil Hameretz 5.

Kiryat Hamelacha is vibrant and dynamic throughout the day. In the mornings, it bustles with unique small workshops, some of which are truly one of a kind. By evening, it transforms into a cultural hub, hosting galleries, concerts, dance performances, and stand-up shows.

Kiryat Hamelacha, established in 1964, was one of Israel’s first urban-industrial centers. The area consists of 12 buildings across three long blocks on four streets, known as ‘paths.’ Designed in the Brutalist style, these gray, exposed concrete buildings now serve as a dynamic canvas for ever-changing colorful graffiti.

Opening Hours:

Friday & Saturday: 10:00–15:00
