Providing visual artists with space, support, and community
New Member Open Call

International Residency Gili Avissar
Gili Avissar is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tel Aviv, holding BFA and MFA degrees from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Working across sculpture, installation, textiles, and video performance, he transforms discarded materials into vibrant, unconventional forms and immersive environments. His practice explores the act of making, material transformation, and themes of nomadism, instability, and the evolving relationship between objects, bodies, and space.
SHIFT x Momus Open Call
The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA), in partnership with Momus, launches a new iteration of its SHIFT Residency exploring the intersections of artistic practice and critical writing. Bringing together four New York–based artists and writers for a six-month collective experience, the program fosters interdisciplinary exchange through studio access, seminars, and conversations with visiting professionals. Mentored by artist, writer, and NewCrits founder Ajay Kurian, residents will develop new critical frameworks through dialogue, experimentation, and collaborative reflection.
