I am fortunate to have been supported by the AICF scholarships between 2002 and 2007. I continue to maintain close relations with AICF as I live and study in New York City. As a young artist in Israel, being an AICF scholarship recipient provided not only financial support for my studies, but more importantly, a stamp of recognition for my artistic achievements. I feel proud and privileged to be a part of the AICF family.
