The “Metropolis” project, which is held for the first time in the framework of Loving Art. Making Art. 2013, seeks to give the public direct and unmediated access to the extensive knowledge accumulated through the lively artistic activity in the city. Artists, curators, and collectors who work at Kiryat HaMelacha district in southern Tel Aviv will hold classes on various subjects, and share their fields of knowledge with the interested public. This is an experiment towards the foundation of a new art "school", in which the urban domain constitutes a place for learning and sharing knowledge.

Kiryat HaMelacha district in south Tel Aviv, which over the last decade evolved into an art center housing some 150 artists alongside galleries and art collections, contains great and diverse knowledge. Out of this reservoir of knowledge we have devised the study sessions:  50 classes held in the artists' natural territory – in the studio or in various display venues. This allows for significant dialogue and learning based on curiosity and a desire for knowledge and discussion, and opens the possibility for a personal connection with an artist who teaches a subject that interests him in a method that is the most suitable for him. The classes/sessions are open to anyone who is interested in joining and learning from emerging and established artists, collectors, as well as poets and researchers, about diverse and different subjects that encompass painting, photography, and ceramics as well as literature, politics, and poetry. We offer a conceptual alternative to the physical structure and familiar mechanism of a school, and propose a new way of thinking about urban planning: an amalgam of city, art, and education.
