West Bank, Palestine · December 8-13, 2026
A six-day gathering for local and global creators working toward a better and just future.
Read the invitationYou are invited to join a cohort of around 20 local and international creators from the Artizen community for six days in the West Bank.
Artizen House Palestine is a space for people who want to build - a chance to learn how to fund your project, find inspiration and honest feedback from collaborators you might never otherwise meet, share skills and resources, deepen existing projects, and begin new ones together.
The gathering comes from a simple belief: when people working toward a better future have the time and space to know one another, trust one another, and create together, new possibilities emerge.
This is not a dialogue space.
The week is centered on shared work, with a particular commitment to strengthening local creators and moving resources, skills, relationships, and funding toward their projects. We want people to leave having actually begun something together.
Our purpose is to support creatives through both their founding and funding journeys. We are creating a loving space where people can learn, grow, and give their projects the connections, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive.
We stand for justice, equality, and freedom, supporting historically oppressed peoples reclaiming power through non-violent action. We oppose any form of racism, exploitation and violence.
We will gather at a beautiful Bedouin camp in the West Bank, 10 kilometers west of the Dead Sea - a grounded setting for shared work, rest, long conversations, and time with the desert.
Landing and getting to know one another
Opening up ideas
Finding unexpected connections
Supporting each other’s funding journey
Making commitments that continue after we leave
Project lightning talks and deep dives bring emerging work into the room early.
Open Space sessions are proposed and led by the people taking part.
A hands-on Funding Lab with Artizen to support each creator’s funding journey.
Creative activities, shared meals, time on the land, and a sunrise journey overlooking the Dead Sea.
We value what can emerge between the lines, so we leave plenty of unstructured time: slow mornings, long afternoons for rest and spontaneous connection, evenings around food, music, and fire, and enough space for friendships and collaborations to form naturally.
We’re looking for Palestinian and global creators who are actively working on projects in the realms of art, activism, culture, technology, science, community, public goods, social change, and imagining different futures.
You do not need to arrive with a finished project. You do need to arrive with curiosity, generosity, and a willingness to contribute to other people’s work as well as your own.
Artizen is a global community and platform that helps creators fund breakthroughs in art, science, technology, and activism. Through community-led Funds, projects can raise direct support, unlock match funding, and connect with people who want their work to exist.
Explore ArtizenAn Artizen House brings that community into the same place. It is a temporary home for creators to focus on their projects, exchange skills and honest feedback, build trust, and begin collaborations that continue after the gathering ends.
