CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo (formerly the Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv) is a non-collecting contemporary-art institution in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. It commissions and produces new projects by living artists, with a particular focus on artists from Israel, and presents a year-round program of exhibitions, performances, screenings and public events. Since 2005, it is housed at the Rachel & Israel Pollak Gallery on Tsadok Hacohen Street. [1] [2]

History

The center was founded in 1998 by curator Sergio Edelsztein, who served as director and chief curator until 2017. [3] [4] In November 2005, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality granted the center its current home, the Rachel & Israel Pollak Gallery, comprising two exhibition floors and a multipurpose space.

In September 2017 the board announced that curator and educator Nicola Trezzi had been appointed director and chief curator, beginning in 2018. [5] In June 2025, the center announced that Hila Cohen-Schneiderman would succeed Trezzi as its new director and chief curator. [6]

Facilities

CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo operates at the Rachel & Israel Pollak Gallery (ground-floor gallery, first-floor gallery, and a multipurpose space), totaling roughly 300 square meters of exhibition space. The venue is located at 2a Tsadok Hacohen Street in central Tel Aviv-Yafo, close to the Carmel Market. It is open to the public six days a week. [1] [2]
