Kenafayim (Wings) is an Israeli nonprofit organization founded in 2004 to establish a unique multidisciplinary arts center, the first of its kind in the world. The organization was founded by and Dalit Sharon Rina Padwa, two artists with rich experience in their respective fields, to create a platform for artistic and social activity and provide a unique place for artists with special needs and for artists who are dealing with mental health problems. The center enables participants to acquire training as artists, musicians and actors, to fulfill their talents and get paid for their art, as a part of their rehabilitation. This concept is based on the belief that the satisfaction from creating, combined with becoming a productive and contributing individual in the community, is leading to a personal and emotional development for each participant, enriches life skills and self esteem. Theater shows, exhibitions and music concerts by Kenafayim’s artists expose the wide audience to their unique worlds, and allow cultural interaction and mutual involvement. Two groups of artists operate in Kenafayim: a group of artists struggling with mental illnesses and a group of artists with mental retardation. The artistic activity in Kenafayim focuses on theater, music, visual art, cinema and writing, and it takes place every day in the morning. == History == * In 2004 Kenafayim organization was established. * In 2008 Kenafayim established the Kenafyim Lobby Gallery at Shapira Community Center in Tel Aviv . * In 2009 (and the year after that) Kenafayim represented Israel at the International Theatre Festival "No Limits" in Berlin with the play "Silver Spoon".〔(Kenafayim at No Limits festival ) 〕 * In 2010 the city of Tel Aviv granted Kenafayim a house in order to build the “Kenafayim Center" – a complex of art studios combined with theater hall, gallery and a bar, a house in which the artists of Kenafayim would create and from where they would distribute the products of their art to the public.〔(Municipality of Tel - Aviv - Jaffa improves the city for people with disabilities ) 〕 * In 2011 Kenafyim represented Israel with the play "Silver spoon" at the international “Creahm” festival in Belgium.〔(Silver Spoon at Creahm ) 〕 Kenafayim's artists represented artists with disabilities at The Museum of Everything in London.〔(4 Kenafayim Artists In The Museum Of Everything’s ‘Exhibition #4′ )〕 * In 2012 Kenafayim represented Israel with the play "Silver spoon" at the international festival "Nit Ariadni" in Russia,〔(Расправляя Крылья - 03.12.2012 ) 〕〔(БФ Джойнт и организация Сохнут показали москвичам Крылья ) 〕〔(«КНАФАИМ» РАСПРАВИЛИ КРЫЛЬЯ В МОСКВЕ ) 〕 while their artists exhibited their works in Pushkin Museum.
