Your donation will help us:
On Black Saturday, 7.10.23, we lost dear partners, wounded and traumatized, forcibly uprooted from our homes and scattered across the country.
Since then, UMM CULTURE activities have been dedicated to supporting and empowering artists on personal, communal, and professional levels. The association manages emergency aid to support the artists in the Gaza Envelope, facilitating access to equipment and art materials, resource mobilization, exhibitions, and donations to support the artists.
