Fireflies Project aims to expand the influence, accessibility, and presence of regional art in the broader global community, considering it to be a fascinating source of inspiration, enjoyment, and thought-provoking experiences. We rethink traditional art structures by maintaining a flexible and dynamic presence.
In a fast-changing art world and in the face of the manifold physical and financial boundaries contended with by artists in areas other than world centers, we believe mobility, creativity, and forward thinking are essential in developing innovative, groundbreaking projects and forming alliances with suitable collaborators.
Fireflies Project works with the most influential, cutting-edge artists based in Israel, both mid-career and emerging. Working in a variety of mediums, techniques and artistic approaches, they all share a fascinating ability to create remarkable installations, original environments, and invented worlds that produce unique experiences transcending a particular time and space.
We facilitate international artistic development for our artists by offering a bespoke working plan to suit their development, ambitions, projects, and initiatives, providing them with new opportunities that include unprecedented international exposure.
Fireflies Project services also offers art consulting to private and corporate collections, as well as a full set of art handling and logistics services based on twenty years of experience in the contemporary art field.
