The Yama Center, from the Cultural Movement, was established in 2019 with a simple and clear dream: to create a living space for art, culture and human encounter in Nahariya.
A collective of creative women from the city took an abandoned space on the main street and transformed it into a unique and groundbreaking home. A place where exhibitions, performances, and diverse cultural events are held, inviting everyone to feel part of it.
A public gallery – an open heart for local and international contemporary art, open to everyone 24/7 and bringing culture to the heart of Nahariya’s main street.
A studio with teachers from the area, daily classes, and a creative community that lives and breathes creativity.
The Yona Cafe – born from community crowdfunding, was renovated and reopened as a warm and accessible space for meeting, working, and inspiration.
In the midst of a complex reality of war and a sense of emergency that has become part of everyday life – the Yama Center continues to be an island of creativity, hope, and human connection.
We believe that culture changes reality. Here in the north, and especially in areas close to the border, Yama creates good reasons to stay, return, and invest – and continues to develop relevant, innovative, and influential ways of acting in Israeli society and around the world.
