concept
What would you wish for the world if your work could speak?
Every New Year begins with a wish – personal or shared, quiet or bold.
Peace. Home. Love. Belonging. Courage. Healing. Abundance. Joy. Protection. Renewal.
For Rosh Hashanah, we gather around the table to mark a new beginning: to look back, look forward, and express our hopes for the year ahead.
With WISHES, we invite artists, designers and independent creators to give these hopes a physical form. Not just as a greeting or a decorative symbol, but objects and artworks that carry meaning, memory, feeling or intention.
A vessel can carry abundance.
A candle can bring light.
A textile can speak of belonging.
A sculpture can embody protection.
An object can become a wish.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We welcome original artworks, artist-made objects and collectible design with a strong artistic identity, thoughtful materiality and a contemporary point of view.
This may include:
- Ceramics and sculptural vessels
- Tableware and serving objects
- Candleholders and works related to light
- Glass and metal objects
- Textile art and table textiles
- Small-scale sculpture
- Painting, photography and mixed media
- Artist-made objects and limited editions
- Contemporary interpretations of traditional objects
- Experimental works across materials and disciplines
Both functional and non-functional works are welcome. What matters is not the function itself, but the meaning the work carries.
Accepted Formats
ARTWORKS FOR THE TABLE
Works and objects that can become part of the Rosh Hashanah table, transforming it into a space of beauty, connection and meaning.
ARTISTIC GIFTS
Artworks, small-scale pieces and collectible objects that can be given to someone as a personal gesture, carrying a thought, an intention or a wish.
Because sometimes, you don’t simply give a gift.
You give a wish.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
The open call is open to artists, designers and independent creators living and working in Israel and abroad.
We welcome creators across disciplines and from different cultural and professional backgrounds, bringing their own perspective, materials and interpretation of the idea of a wish.

POP-UP
Following the success of our previous pop-up created as part of the One Table Open Call, we are planning to continue the initiative with a new pop-up featuring participants of WISHES.
The pop-up will offer the participants an additional opportunity to present their work to a wider audience and become part of a live curated event beyond the open call itself.
Participants will be invited to join the pop-up on an optional basis, with a small contribution toward its production. Pop Up is not a required part of the Open Call.
The venue, format and participation conditions will be announced separately once all details are confirmed.
