Nisha. Exhibition Space for Local Art in the JNF-USA Tourist Information Center in Akko was established in 2017 by the Western Galilee Now Association, which has been operating the Information Center since 2016.
The Nisha has become an integral part of the Association’s work in the Western Galilee, dedicated to promoting the Western Galilee’s cultural, historical, and geographical riches.
The space has become an integral part of the association’s work in the Western Galilee and is fertile ground for promoting the artistic, historical, geographical, and cultural wealth of the Western Galilee. With each visit, visitors to the exhibition are exposed to the colorful and multi-layered wealth of local artisans and craftsmen or local historical events.
Nisha. Exhibition Space for Local Art promotes and develops social and, artistic projects, while at the same time preserving and displaying traditional handicrafts from all the different cultures sharing and enriching the region.
The space holds two exhibitions a year.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
