AICF Celebration & ICA Awards

America-Israel Cultural Foundation (AICF) has played a leading role in the development of Israel’s arts and culture. Thanks to its early support for nearly all of Israel’s largest artistic institutions, and our reputation for nourishing the finest artists in music, dance, theater, and visual arts the name AICF has become synonymous with culture in Israel.

AICF’s 2022 Celebration and ICA Awards will take place on Monday, November 7th at The Robert H. Smith Auditorium, in the New-York Historical Society in New York City.

The ICA Awards (Israeli Culture & Arts Awards) honors the most impactful Israeli artists in the performing, visual, design, television, and cinematic arts. Together, we celebrate the most accomplished Israeli artists, thanking them for their contribution to the global cultural landscape. The ceremony features performances from a wide array of artists, recognizes artistic excellence, and promotes Israeli artists’ contribution to the global stage.

In 2019, the celebration honored five iconic Israeli artists including Hanna Azoulay Hasfari (Theatre), Vania Heymann (Visual Arts), Ron Leshem (Film/TV), Ohad Naharin (Dance) and Idan Raichel (Music). The event featured performances by a wide array of artists as well as a surprise performance by Idan Raichel.
