Prof. Adi Stern is the president of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem. Stern is a passionate believer in the ability of art, design, and architecture to influence the world and engender positive change in it. He advocates excellence and sees art and design education as crucial for the promotion of pluralistic approaches, critical thinking, creativity, and originality.
In his view, Bezalel must remain committed to training its exceptionally talented students to be exemplary artists, architects, and designers who will serve as ambassadors and agents of change—involved in their surroundings, knowledgeable, skillful, and both willing and equipped to impact culture, society, and the economy in Israel and the world.
