Start Art is a program for youth from the Galilee who are drawn to the arts, designed to integrate students into the Margalit Startup City culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. The essence of this project is to expose them to the Galilee's FoodTech and AgTech innovation and startups. The youth participating in the Start Art program will learn to explore the relationship between arts and food throughout history as they continue to interact with leading multidisciplinary artists and bring their own inspiration and artistic point of view to life.
