the Luna Art Fund (“LunArt”) is a private non-profit family fund, established in New York and Tel Aviv in 2008  by Edna Fast and her huband, Dr. Avital Fast.

LunArt’s mission is to promote and strengthen visual arts and visual culture within the diverse Arab-Palestinian communities of Israel.

LunArt aims to promote art studies in the Arab-Israeli school sector, to provide free pre-college prep courses in visual arts and consequently, to increase the number of Arab-Israeli art and design professionals in the general population.

LunArt’s mission is based on our belief that art serves as a powerful agent for social change by providing an effective tool for self expression, identity formation and a bridge between the different ethnic groups both within the Arab Israeli society and between Arabs and Jews in Israel.
