FRESHPAINT GROUP

Freshpaint Fair was founded to bring together an eager audience with the creative community, making art and design more accessible to the public while supporting the local artists and designers. Since its first edition in 2008, the fair has been held annually in Tel Aviv—Israel’s cultural hub—attracting a diverse and engaged crowd of over 40,000 visitors each year.

The fair collaborates with leading art institutions in Israel and worldwide, establishing itself as a key destination for art and culture enthusiasts. These days, we are expanding Freshpaint into the Freshpaint Group, which operates year-round to promote Israeli art and culture. As part of this effort, we showcase and sell original Israeli art in all Tollman’s Dot exhibition spaces and at the Tollman’s Flagship showroom, demonstrating the natural connection between art and design—continuing to create meaningful opportunities for Israeli artists to thrive.

Projects

The team offers art consulting and curatorial services to both private and business clients, leveraging our extensive network of artists, many of whom are alumni of the fair. We focus on creating unique connections between artworks and different spaces, with the goal of adding meaning, character, and aesthetics to each project. Some of the curatorial projects we’ve worked on include curating the art collection for IBI’s offices, as well as a prominent project at the Bat Shlomo Vineyards hotel, where carefully selected artworks were integrated into the venue’s unique experience.

In addition to these projects, we provide personalized services such as supporting private and institutional collections, creating focused exhibitions from existing collections, and developing both printed and digital catalogs. We also work on developing innovative ways to make art more accessible, such as audio guides and interactive experiences, allowing the public to connect with the artworks and discover deeper layers of meaning.
