Festival Beshekel<\/a> \u2013 the name says it all. Culture belongs to everyone \u2013 everyone, everywhere should have the opportunity enjoy music, art, theatre and dance. Festival Beshekel celebrates a decade of cultural activism this year with performances in the two towns where the festival first began: Kiryat Shmona this past October, and just in time for Hannukah, the Festival BeShekel will come to Sderot from December 20 \u2013 22, 2011. Three days of performances with Acollective<\/a>, Karolina<\/a>, Geva Alon<\/a>, Yermi Kaplan<\/a>, Boom Pam<\/a> and more \u2013 and all for only 1 Shekel!<\/p>\n

In tune with Festival Beshekel\u2019s philosophy, local bands will be featured in the festival line-up as well as an impressive list of well known musicians. Children\u2019s shows in the afternoons and discussion sessions on subjects as varied as soccer and theatre round out a festival that has something for everyone. A non-profit organization, Festival Beshekel was founded in 2001 by a group of artists and activists led by Sha`anan Streett (Hadag Nachash). Streett, artistic director of the organization and a member of the Board of Directors, said, \u201cThe idea was simple, to produce a series of festivals, of the same quality as the many spring and summer music festivals, in development towns and neighborhoods at a price that is equally accessible to all\u2026to promote art and culture in the periphery and neighborhoods, to widen the circle of culture consumers and to encourage creativity in arts, culture and social issues in the different communities in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n
