Our year-long program takes place monthly, in unique locations that are carefully chosen to provide an engaging backdrop for the music and art on display: artists’ studios, private homes, industrial spaces and other non-conventional venues that contribute to a laid-back and friendly atmosphere. Depending on the venue, we typically welcome an audience of 70–150.

The engagement of audiences with the performance gives way to something elusive and hard to pin-down: In the space between performer, premises, visual art and those attending, there is a special experience that is time-specific yet memorable – something akin to inspiration, in that it encourages further creativity and openness to others.

While presented in English, past events in the FRAMED series have featured a wealth of languages, among them Hebrew, German, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese and Dutch. A multi-lingual discourse is at the core of our project, as we’d like to reach out to myriad cultures – in the sense of spoken languages but no less as pertains musical expression and artistic practices. Rather than an obstacle, we see diversity is a pathway to greater contact and communication.

FRAMED is intended as a space for expression, sharing and acceptance for all those in attendance, whether artists/performers or viewers/listeners to.
