New & Noteworthy in Tel Aviv

2012 was Art Year in Tel Aviv, which celebrated the city's arts and culture as well as the opening of the contemporary wing at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Since then, the art scene in Tel Aviv has been booming, with galleries popping up all over the city. Preceding this, in 2011, was Tel Aviv's first ever fashion week, putting Israel on the map for the first time as a fashion and design destination, and giving the international fashion world a peak into Israeli style. Scheduled for Summer 2013 is an expansion of the Tel Aviv boardwalk in the Gordon beach area, which will open up for visitors and locals alike for dining al la fresco next to the waves.
