ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Start Art is a program for youth from the Galilee who are drawn to the arts, designed to integrate students into the Margalit Startup City culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. The essence of this project is to expose them to the Galilee's FoodTech and AgTech innovation and startups. The youth participating in the Start Art program will learn to explore the relationship between arts and food throughout history as they continue to interact with leading multidisciplinary artists and bring their own inspiration and artistic point of view to life.

The Tri-Region Music Consortium creates regional cooperation among three conservatories in the Gaza Envelope, enabling students to participate in musical ensembles and achieve the highest levels of success. The program brings top-tier instructors to the area, provides new and improved instruments to students, and offers scholarships to those who otherwise might not be able to afford lessons. The bright light of music in these families’ lives is an essential therapeutic and cultural necessity, an important escape from the trauma of living in these tense regions. Music has the power to transform the desert into a magical place of rhythm and stability, uplifting the spirits of both the musicians and those who hear them play.
