The Tel Aviv street art scene has flourished over the last decade or so but is also at risk of being wiped away as gentrification and development have taken over - especially in its epicenter of Florentin - which is pushing street artists even further away to poorer neighborhoods south of the city.
If you want to see some of the incredibly bold and vibrant works of art - and the messages associated with them - you have a few options.
Recently an initiative has been created to preserve the works in a series of books, the first of which is already in production. For more click here: https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-disappearing-street-art-of-tel-avivs-gentrifying-florentin-neighborhood/ and here http://www.lordk2.com/street-art-tel-aviv There is, however, already one book on the subject available here: https://www.blurb.com/b/8552012-tel-aviv-street-art-2018
If you want to see the street art in person, you have two options. As a tour guide of Israel, I believe there is one good guiding day in Tel Aviv, but at least 2-3 days worth of incredible things to experience there on top of the guided day [which can be done on one's one or have local guiding]. While I am happy to include a walk through of the Florentin neighborhood to see the street art as part of our day tour, I can also arrange a more in-depth option for you as well: an in-depth street art tour, often with a local artist. Some of these tours can even end with your crew getting a chance to do create your own street art in the "training area."
No matter what, if you are into street art, you definitely want to make sure to include Tel Aviv's street art in your next Israel tour - and/or perhaps pick up a book as well!
