ABOUT THE EVENT

Rather than hosting a "virtual live" event on October 27, we will be sharing an exclusive love letter to the IMJ, with video messages from artists and museum staff highlighting works from the collection and all the ways that the IMJ sustains us, even from a distance, that will be available for viewing here and on our YouTube Channel soon.

With the loss of visitors this year, as well as many other crucial revenue streams due to COVID-19, the Israel Museum faces unprecedented financial strain, and as a result must now take additional steps to mitigate the pandemic’s impact and to keep this museum as a resource for our future. While this is a difficult time for all of us, we have every reason to look ahead with hope and confidence—and to look forward to when we will next be together as a community.



In appreciation of your donation to this year’s AFIM Gala, you will receive a special portfolio of a limited edition print from the following participating artists:

I AM WITH AFIM

100% of your gift supports the American Friends of the Israel Museum.

Your donation must be received by October 27 in order to receive an allocated print from this portfolio.

LEVELS OF SUPPORT

National Underwriters and Underwriter will receive the full portfolio of 12 prints.

All other levels of support at $1,250 and above will receive prints selected at random.

Unfortunately, we are unable to honor requests for specific artists.
