"קודם נכבוש את מנהטן" 〕 as a series of events, exhibitions and publications focused on art and artists from Israel during (Armory Arts Week ) in New York. Artis hired its first Executive Director, Yael Reinharz, in 2008. During her tenure, Artis has distributed over $1 million in grants for artists and exhibitions worldwide in 16 countries, presented over 100 public programs and commissioned, hosted 130 international art professionals in Israel, and mentored dozens of artists in career development programs.〔ArtSpace, July 18, 2015: http://www.artspace.com/magazine/interviews_features/yael-reinharz-artis-interview-52992〕 In 2010, Artis received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in the State of New York and established its Board of Directors. The Artis logo transliterates the organization's name into Israel's official languages of Hebrew and Arabic. Initial Artis Public Programs included panels such as ''Perceptions of Israeli Contemporary Art as part of the Global Scene'' with critics Francesco Bonami, Massimiliano Gioni, Dan Cameron, Elsa Longhauser and Smadar Sheffi at Sotheby's, and a commissioned performance by Sigalit Landau of ''Bachus'', a transformation of a bicycle-mounted concrete mixer in a large traveling, chiming, music box and ice cream giveaway point. Since 2004, Artis has regularly produced and presented public programs and commissions including talks, exhibitions, panels, and performances with emerging and leading artists from Israel, most often in conjunction with other leading arts organizations such as the New Museum, Performa, Jewish Museum, the Swiss Institute, Tate Modern, and many others. In 2012, Artis expanded its public program offerings to Los Angeles, presenting events at MoCA, For Your Art, RedCat, and many others. Artis has also participated in art fairs since 2011, including NADA New York, NADA Miami Beach and the Armory Show. In 2007, Artis organized its first Research Trip to Israel for museum directors, curators and writers. This week-long trip led directly to the creation of solo exhibitions of work by artists Yael Bartana at MoMA PS1 and Sigalit Landau at MoMA. Soon thereafter, numerous articles in publications such as The New York Times,〔The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/arts/design/12chance.html?_r=0〕 Frieze, Artforum〔Artforum: http://artforum.com/diary/id=31104〕 and the Art Newspaper began to take more serious consideration of the burgeoning community of artists from Israel by publishing essays and reviews and establishing relationships with local writers in Tel Aviv. Artis takes part in the dialogue around the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.〔The Artnewspaper: http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Cultural-boycott-of-Israel-under-fire/37104〕 In 2015, Artis commissioned Chen Tamir's essay published in Hyperallergic about the history of the boycott.〔Hyperallergic: http://hyperallergic.com/179655/a-report-on-the-cultural-boycott-of-israel/〕 In 2015, Artis announced a gift of $1 million from an anonymous donor to advance opportunities for visual artists from Israel. The anonymous gift enabled Artis to continue its research trips and career development programs for artists, and to expand its grant program from $100,000 to $250,000 per year through the core grant areas. This donation helped grow the Artis' annual budget to $1 million and expand its staff, adding a new Artis base in Tel Aviv.〔ArtAsiaPacific: http://www.artasiapacific.com/News/ArtisRecievesUSD1MillionAnonymousDonation〕〔Artforum: http://artforum.com/news/id=50413〕〔Artnews: http://www.artnews.com/2015/02/24/artis-receives-1-m-anonymous-donation/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artis (non-profit company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
