Koby believes that art should be accessible to everyone at any age.
At the end of 2011, Koby opened an independent iron wire design studio in Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta’ot. Since then he works in the studio every day, creating objects some of which are artistic by nature and some of which combine unique design principles.
When visiting Koby, you can get an impression of his works — lighting fixtures, two- and three-dimensional sculptures of animals and imaginary characters, radios, and even a unique metal dress.
The pleasant and happy studio contains an exhibition space and a creative space that are integrated into each other. Some of the works hang on the walls and ceiling, while some are placed on stands and tables throughout the studio. The studio space has evolved over the years and continues to change from day to day and from visit to visit, since sculptures are sold, go to exhibitions, or return from them.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
